More Information On Who Is Buying 11 State Office Buildings

Besides the two principal partners slated to purchase 11 state office buildings – some 7 million square feet – for $2.3 billion, there are an additional nine equity investors involved in the deal.

In assessing the bid of Antarctica Capital Real Estate, an entity formed to bid on the buildings, and Houston-based Hines Interests, the state focused mainly on a simple determination of whether the team of investors was able to come up with the $2.3 billion.

For example, a spokesman for the Department of General Services said the state did not examine any of the nine additional investors with the scrutiny of a recent California’s Capitol post about Capital Pacific Holdings, Inc. one of the nine.

Here are the names of the other eight additional investors linked to information about them culled from a quick Internet search :
