Two years on, the new owner, Sansome Street Advisors, sold the building once again, this time for $42.5 million to Tidewater Capital. With tech workers partying in Uptown after work every day, the building's value had ballooned 170% in three years. Then came the Covid-19 pandemic. Tech companies walked away from offices they had just leased as workers stayed home, sending vacancy rates skyrocketing. The Syndicate Building was one of the first Oakland office properties to return to its lender when Tidewater Capital surrendered it to BrightSpire Capital in 2023. In January, 1440 Broadway traded hands again - this time, for just $5.2 million, 88% lower than its last sale and roughly a third of what it sold for in the beginning of that chain of purchases. The buyer, Frontline Realty Capital, believes it is getting in ahead of a cycle similar to last decade's, with artificial-intelligence startups flooding San Francisco and driving prices higher across the bridge. Frontline has already invested roughly $1 million into 1440 Broadway so far, growing occupancy at the building by more than 25%.

Dana Portwood 2d Crone in Training I work at the public library which means I see the books leaving and coming back in, and I can tell you this, my community is scared of what's happening and what is likely to happen, and they intend to go down fighting. They are learning skills and reading about politics like I've never seen. And the books parents are choosing for their kids: allyship, inclusive, multi-culturalism. It's beautiful. I'm making new cards for people by the literal dozen. This is why facists hate libraries. It's where people go to gird their fucking loins. We love to see it. 2123 LIKES 251 RESTACKS

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Yeah, just--just one thing. I watched a show this morning where a very well-known Democrat Congressman was fighting like hell for men playing in women's sports. They don't change it-- NORAH O'DONNELL: Who was that? PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: I don't want to tell. You'll be able to check it. Just check your local TV.

NORAH O'DONNELL: But if the subsidies are not extended, they're not gonna be able to afford health insurance-- PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Look. It was a defective plan put into line by Barack Hussein Obama, who was a lousy president, not nearly as bad as Biden, by the way, who by the way is building a museum that's, like, four times over budget. It'll never open, built in a neighborhood that- you know, it's just not gonna work. The neighborhood doesn't even want 'em. NORAH O'DONNELL: Okay.

Echoes of the collapsing time. As afternoon moonrise meets the lengthening shadows of creeping night to greet the ancestral rivers and tides churning. May they find their way to where they might rest. May they rest in peace. #dailies

Alone and walking once again in a dark and shadowy world filled with the visits of my new ancestors. Grateful they are free and missing them and their joy in these celebrations and rituals. Wintering in shadow will weave me in to the grieving and connection if not yet into the joy. #dailies

Screenshot: Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick The level of spontaneous street-level resistance to DHS immigration raids is astonishing. Within moments of an arrest, dozens of people come out to protest. And the longer the Chicago operation goes on, the bigger the protests have seemed to grow.

Story Highlights • Al money in S.F. is driving all-cash home purchases in East Bay. • Lamorinda area attracts Al executives seeking suburban luxury homes. • Lafayette, Berkeley emerge as hotspots for tech buyers. The Al effect in San Francisco is spilling over to the East Bay's residential real estate scene, with some agents saying they are seeing tech money show up in the form of all-cash offers over the past several weeks. Agents covering areas of both Alameda and Contra Costa counties told the Business Times this week that certain neighborhoods are now popping with interest and bidding competition.
