Forbright Bank Provides $50M for Southern California R&D Campus
Why this matters
Office continues to trade in two distinct markets: trophy assets in walkable submarkets that are leasing at or near record rents, and commodity Class B and C buildings where the basis is still resetting. Underwriting on the latter has moved toward replacement-cost-minus, with credit underwriting now leaning on tenant covenant and remaining lease term rather than mark-to-market expectations. Los Angeles is working asset-by-asset through an extended office reset. Hospitality on the West Side and selective industrial in the South Bay are where capital is currently moving; downtown Class B remains in price discovery. For LP-positioned capital, the read-through is that the bifurcation is now a structural feature of the sector, not a cycle to wait out.
