AXS Opportunity Fund, a Beverly Hills-based investment firm that acted through an affiliate, bought the buildings, which total a combined 477,500 square feet, according to a marketing brochure. One building is a 13-story office tower at 1655 Grant St. and totals 292,900 square feet."
"The other is a four-story office site at 1755 Grant that totals 184,600 square feet. Stapleton Group, a court-appointed receiver, conducted the property sale. The buildings were shoved into receivership after the prior owner, an entity affiliated with Partner Group and Swift Realty Partners, became delinquent on a loan for the site. The drop in the price for the buildings hints that the property might suffer a drop in its assessed value."
