- The Kivelstadt Group has missed more than three months of payments on a $19.58-million loan tied to 140 Second St. in San Francisco, putting the future of the South Financial District office building into question.

The property first landed on a loan watchlist in November of 2022 after lenders registered that at least four tenants in the building — collectively responsible for occupying roughly 70% of the building’s leasable space – were set to have their leases expire through the end of 2023.
