Tishman Speyer completes sale of Maple Plaza in Beverly Hills. Transaction marks Tishman Speyer's third successful Beverly Hills sale in just over a year. 345 North Maple. Los Angeles, CA. Tishman Speyer. (Photo Credit: Lawrence Anderson) Tishman Speyer today announced the sale of Maple Plaza to Kilroy Realty Corporation, completing a trio of successful dispositions in Southern California's iconic Beverly Hills market in just over a year's time. Tishman Speyer sold Maple Plaza for $205.3 million, or $707 per square foot. The firm originally acquired the property in 2005 for $101 million, and subsequently secured leases with a wide variety of entertainment, financial services, and lifestyle customers, as well as with retailers Goop Kitchen and Cafe Ruisseau. Last August, Tishman Speyer sold 407 North Maple Drive to Fashion Nova for $119.7 million, after originally acquiring the property in September 2005 for $71.9 million. In December, Tishman Speyer sold 9242 Beverly to Envision and Faring for $90 million, after acquiring it in 2005 for $38 million. "Our successful exit from this trio of Beverly Hills properties after two decades of stewardship is a testament to Tishman Speyer's ability to create value for our investors," said Tishman Speyer Senior Managing Director Ryan Botjer. "These transactions have capitalized on the market's continued appetite for top-quality office environments in premier markets, and we remain committed to the region's long-term growth." Located at 345 North Maple Drive in the heart of Beverly Hills, Maple Plaza features flexible and efficient floor plates, a full-service fitness center with yoga studio, electric vehicle charging stations, and views of the Hollywood Hills. The 290,000-square-foot Class A property benefits from its proximity to Santa Monica Boulevard, the legendary Beverly Hills sign and Rodeo Drive, which features many of the city's finest dining and retail options. Tishman Speyer continues to maintain an active presence in Southern California, with a wide range of office, residential and industrial properties in its existing portfolio and development pipeline. Tishman Speyer owns and operates a number of office campuses in Los Angeles, including The Brickyard and The Collective. It is currently developing the Santa Monica Collection, which will encompass more than 600 rental apartments, and Bake Freeway Business Park, a new industrial complex.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) said Tuesday (March 4) that a court granted its motion for a preliminary injunction against Seek Capital and its founder and CEO, Roy Ferman. The preliminary injunction, which was granted on Feb. 20, prohibits Seek Capital from making false claims related to small business loans or lines of credit and from contacting any consumers whose information the company obtained before Feb. 20, the FTC said in a Tuesday press release. The FTC filed its complaint against Seek Capital in November, alleging that the company targets new and aspiring small business owners, falsely advertises that it can secure business loans or lines of credit, and then charges clients thousands of dollars to simply open credit cards in the business owners’ names, according to the release
