The trade for the 35-story, more than 700,000-square-foot office tower came out to about $129 per square foot.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>All roads<\/p>\n<p>A special servicer for a lender and commercial mortgage-backed securities holders <a href=\"https:\/\/therealdeal.com\/la\/2026\/06\/11\/receiver-requested-on-fallas-paredes-building-in-downtown-la\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">requested<\/a> a receiver and initiated a judicial foreclosure on the Fallas family\u2019s Metropolitan building in downtown Los Angeles\u2019 Historic Core.<\/p>\n<p>The parties allege the Fallas family \u2014 of the bankrupt retailer and parent company of Fallas Paredes \u2014 defaulted on their <a href=\"https:\/\/therealdeal.com\/la\/2026\/03\/26\/dtla-loan-sent-to-special-servicing\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">loan<\/a> on the Beaux-Arts style building at 449 South Broadway and owes about $32 million. But special servicer LNR and the family are still in talks, which could result in a short sale, a person familiar said. The loan on the seven-story, 160,000-square-foot, mixed-use building comes out to about $200 per square foot \u2014 more than it would command in today\u2019s market.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Price revealed \u2026 kind of<\/p>\n<p>Late May, we wrote the non-performing note on ex-boxer Oscar De La Hoya\u2019s Downtown Los Angeles office tower <a href=\"https:\/\/therealdeal.com\/la\/2026\/05\/27\/oscar-de-la-hoyas-downtown-office-loan-sells\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">sold<\/a>.

At the time, a source put a price tag at $12 million to $15 million, which would come out to between $80 and $100 per square foot. We have some more information. The loan was resolved for a loss \u2014 not a surprise. But now we know, per Trepp, the sale generated $13.3 million in net proceeds, and that left about $12.5 million in lenders\u2019 pockets.<\/p>\n<p>Where the elite meet to eat<\/p>\n<p>Leaving downtown, and on a more fun note, TRD received a photo of Leo Pustilnikov and Frank Mottek at Nate \u2018n Al\u2019s deli in Beverly Hills, where they ran into each other.
