After two years of foreclosure proceedings with little clarity on Centre Square’s future, the property’s receiver now says a sale is “very likely.” Owners Nightingale Properties and InterVest Capital Partners, formerly Wafra Capital Partners, owe over $375 million on the overdue CMBS loan backing the 1.76 million-square-foot office complex, court records show. Wells Fargo Bank filed a foreclosure complaint on behalf of investors in January 2023, placing the Center City property in receivership three months later. Since then, little progress had been made.

On Jan. 6, CBRE, the court-appointed receiver, filed a motion in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania indicating it is preparing to sell 1500 Market St. The motion seeks to remove court requirements CBRE believes could hinder securing the best possible price.
