An apartment building in San Francisco has reportedly experienced a large decrease in its value compared to where it stood in 2018.

The San Francisco Chronicle, citing data from Trepp, reported Thursday that the building, the Crescent Heights-owned NEMA, had its value decline by $264.6 million, hitting $279 million, more than a 48% drop from 2018, when it was worth $543.6 million.

Trepp had also tweeted about it Wednesday. The company, which tracks structured finance, commercial real estate and banking markets, said the commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) loan connected to it was $384 million.

The Mid-Market area of San Francisco, where the headquarters of X (previously known as Twitter) and other office buildings are located, houses NEMA. The roughly 10-year-old building has 37 floors and 754 rental units, according to the Crescent Heights website.

an entire generation of young Americans from being able to purchase their own homes.

Maybe this trend will continue. Of course the opposite is true too, that those that refinanced, refinanced, and refinanced their places endlessly to take advantage of the higher values of their properties are going to face some pretty severe problems, as the values of their often times refinanced properties fall beneath certain values.

NEMA is a cheaply made glass dump. Likely many corners were cut during construction, trading durability for higher future maintainance expenses. These are the first steps is a gradual real estate collapse. This will be piled on top of the baby boomers switching from being on net investors to net seller of assets.
