It was only last year that the Bank of America Center, long the dominant building in San Francisco's financial district, was sold to a group of New York investors for an impressive $825 million.

Now the 52-story reddish-brown granite tower is said to be going on the market again. This time, the sellers are hoping that the price will reach as high as $1.25 billion.

The B of A building (which I am looking at right now out my office window) hasn't been full since B of A was bought and Robertson Stephens ceased to exist...not sure why the 50% price premium in one year other than mad speculation.

Many years ago I worked in B of A's downtown tower. Small world, "nicht wahr?"
