LOS ANGELES: Aon Centre, the third-tallest tower in Los Angeles, has sold for US$147.8mil – about 45% less than its last purchase price in 2014 – as office values continue to suffer from high vacancies and financing costs.
The sale is the largest office deal this year in downtown Los Angeles, which has been among the hardest-hit US office markets since the pandemic, as remote work becomes more popular and escalating interest rates drive down values, wiping out owners’ equity.
