Sunroad Enterprises has obtained $82.5 million for the refinancing of Sunroad Centrum Office Tower, a 274,758-square-foot office building in San Diego. Goldman Sachs provided the five-year, fixed-rate senior loan in a deal brokered by JLL.

Previous financing included a $77.5 million CMBS loan from Wells Fargo and originated by Cantor Commercial Real Estate in 2014, according to CommercialEdge information. That note is set to expire in August this year.

The 11-story building came online in 2008 and underwent a $30 million tenant improvement program, after Bridgepoint Education vacated it in 2020. The Class A property has floorplates ranging from 24,800 to 59,500 square feet and almost 1,100 parking spaces. Upgrades included a new fitness center, restaurant and conference center, as well as the renovation of lobbies and elevators.

The property is now fully leased to multiple firms, including a Berkshire Hathaway company, Kyocera, Conam, Veterans Administration and California Government Departments. The mid-rise has a weighted average lease term of 10.5 years.

JLL Debt Advisory Senior Managing Directors Aldon Cole and Tim Wright, along with Vice President Bharat Madan, led the brokerage team.

However, the average listing rate dropped 770 basis points year-over-year, falling to $42.76.
