Yup, we had them file here a couple of months ago. Wachovia and Bank of America are up to their eyeballs in debt with Opus. Its not pretty to see these large developers bite the dust.

Actually, the soccer stadium will be quite close to this site…not really downtown. The old FMC site I believe it is called. Adjacent to the airport, across from the Santa Clara Caltrain station.

if it’s worthless then i’d like to put in an offer. heck, i’ll even take the land on the other side of Guadalupe Parkway. I think it’s owned by equity office, which if i’m not mistaken is putting out their own fires considering airport rents are in the dumps too

I have to agree with Yo Yo Yo (with that name, he must definitely be a broker) that this isn’t a very good ballpark site.

As for the land being worthless, it’s worth something, but certainly not much.

…I think the real question is who has a specialized use that needs a custom building. Answer that question, and you might find a buyer.

Why would a user buy land today when they will be able to buy completed brand new vacant buildings at well-below replacement cost prices ($100 psf). The “reset” will happen and frankly needs to happen so that this market starts moving again.

$10 / psf dreaming! Let’s see what Mtn View closes at.

The ball park and soccer stadium need to be in downtown, not N1st!
