On January 7^th, 2007 they received a $30.87m construction loan from Bank of the West secured by the land and future improvements. Following Opus’ default on that note, the property was noticed for trustee sale on May 14^th, 2009 and reverted to Bank of the West as beneficiary on August 26^th, 2009 with a $12,249,600 credit bid.

Regent acquired the entire complex for $9.205m on March 10^th, 2010 in an all-cash transaction. On November 16^th, 2011 the GSA initiated a 10-year full service lease of 16,632 rentable square feet which generates $441,229.61 in annual gross rent.
