A&B Properties, Inc., the real estate subsidiary of Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. (NYSE:AXB) (�Company�), announced today that it has sold Venture Oaks, a 100,000 square-foot, five story office building in Sacramento, California, to KBS City Gate Plaza, LLC. �We achieved a favorable sales price for the property, which reflected the economic value of a recent lease extension for a major tenant, as well as the underlying appreciation of real estate values in Sacramento during our ownership. This combination - long-term appreciation and active property management - has consistently optimized the value we achieve in our portfolio dispositions,� said Norbert M. Buelsing, president of A&B Properties. �And as part of our core investment strategy we plan to put the proceeds from this sale to work, on a tax-deferred basis, in replacement properties that have a higher potential for appreciation.� Venture Oaks is located in the Gateway Center suburban office district of South Natomas, Sacramento. The property�s primary tenant, occupying 87% of the building, is the State Compensation Insurance Fund. After this sale, A&B Properties� commercial property/investment portfolio will comprise 7.5 million square feet of retail, office and industrial space located in Hawaii and eight mainland states, including two office buildings in Sacramento.
