PLEASANTON — A big office complex in the East Bay has been bought for more than $150 million in a deal that shows investors still hunger for some Bay Area properties despite a frail commercial real estate sector.
Pleasanton Corporate Commons, a four-building office center, was bought for $151.8 million, according to documents filed on May 7 with the Alameda County Recorder.

Nome Capital Partners, a South Bay real estate firm that acted through an affiliate, led the buying group, the county property records show.
The just-bought buildings are at 6200, 6210, 6220 and 6230 Stoneridge Mall Road. Together, the four buildings total 595,600 square feet. The purchase also includes 1.2 acres of land in the office complex.
