Bank of America Plaza in Atlanta going to foreclosure sale

From Bloomberg:

Atlanta's 55-story Bank of America Plaza, the tallest tower in the Southeast, is set to be sold at an open outcry auction on the steps of the Fulton County Courthouse tomorrow after landlord BentleyForbes missed mortgage payments. It bought the skyscraper in 2006 for $436 million from Bank of America Corp. and Cousins Properties Inc. in the city's biggest property deal

Speaking of dark space...

Bank of America Plaza default

Nothing unexpected here. My accountant is actually in this building and has been providing on-the-ground reporting as E&Y vacated, and now BOA is reducing its footprint from 29.9% to 13% of NRA. I get to visit it a fair amount when I fly down to play a little game she calls "Taxes", which I always lose even when I win.

The good news is that it has $4.3mm in reserves, its covering at 1.09x, and they've engaged Cushman & Wakefield to lease up the 21% of currently vacant space. The better news is that despite this being Atlanta Office, it is, according to the Bloomberg story out today, the tallest building in the Southeast - someone is going to snap this up.

The bad news is that it is 80% LTV before the Mezzanine loan, and the mezz holder (Petra Mortgage Capital) has tried and failed to auction off its interest.
