Sales start for bankrupt developer’s Bay Area real estate empire
SAN JOSE — An apartment complex in downtown San Jose is slated to become the first property unloaded as part of the auction of the pieces of the real estate empire of a bankrupt developer implicated in a federal fraud case.
The first property to find a potential buyer — at a $54.2 million price — is a big apartment building at 138 Balbach St. in downtown San Jose, according to papers filed July 16 with the U.S. District Court in the fraud case linked to bankrupt developer Sanjeev Acharya.
