745 Sutter Street | A Legacy Transition Handled with Precision

When the owners of 745 Sutter Street, a 25-unit apartment building in San Francisco’s Downtown, decided to sell, it marked the end of a three-generation legacy. The property had been in the family for decades, but the time had come to plan for the next chapter. With estate planning top of mind and management no longer practical, the family was ready, but they needed a team they could trust.

The market, however, was far from straightforward. Many institutional buyers were underwriting at significantly higher cap rates due to shifting debt conditions, and uncertainty made premium pricing feel out of reach.

That’s where we came in.

Leveraging our deep market knowledge, we recognized untapped value and knew how to position the property strategically. We built a tailored campaign around its strong in-place cash flow, fantastic physical metrics, and long-term upside, then activated our private network to attract qualified interest. The result: a local, all-cash buyer who moved quickly and removed all contingencies within five days, and fully passed through their deposit.

We guided the family through every step of the process, balancing sensitivity with strategic clarity, and delivered an outcome that not only met their financial goals but also respected their family legacy.
