THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, SUNDAY MORNING, PC IMPORTANT DEALS IN ESTATE DURING if 25 L L i 1 m Houm of On of the moat Important realty deals of the week was the leasing of the northwest corner of Fourth and 'Washington streets, owned by Mrs. John M. Oearln, by Rothschild Bros., and Aha announcement that thla corner Is I to be Improved. While no details of the deal have been published. It Is un derstood that the lease Is for a little tmore than 20 years, and It Is reported that the rental ,1s fixed at 6 per cent on n Investment Of 1250,000. This sounds raher high, for It will be recalled that last week Charles Sweeny purchased the Dekum building annex, building and all. .tor 1165.000, but taking the leas of Inburth .and Washington on a . -basts of a 1250,000 valuation It Is not so bad, when it is recalled that the lease Is to run for St years and un doubtedly, with the way that Port land Is growing, the ground will be worth that much In the next 16 years. Of equal Interest with the Oeartn ftothschild deal was the announcement made yesterday of the contract lease of the corner of Fourth and Oak streets for the Board of Trade building, and also s new building for the Corbett es tate at Fifth and Ankeny streets. There has also been a report current for some time that the Corbett estate would. Im prove the northwest corner of Flftn and " Alder streets, but It Is understood that the plana for Improving that corner are Jn about the same shape aa they were veral months ago, when it was re- rted the estate bad In mind the erec tion of a modern building at that point. out there are said to be several questions to be settled with nrosnctlvs tenants . before anything takes definite shape. Tli Gear The reported valuation .on which the rln-Rothschlld lease has been made. -while It mar seem high. Is in keeping Frank J. woth other leases for Washington street property. The Oregon Trust a Saving bank, it will be recalled, leased the quarter It now occupies at Sixth and Washington streeta at a rate that shows a return of t per cent on a valuation of 1160.000. This covere only a part of the building, the owners have the balance at corresponding rates, and taken alto gether' the returns from the Sixth end Washington streets property will ne doubt figure considerably above the valuation plaoad en th Fourth and Washington oorner. With a modern bunding on the oorner of Fourth and Washington streets there is no doubt but what a satisfactory return can be secured on a ground rental figured on a basis of liiO.OOO. and a building whloh will probably oost lioo.ooo additional. Outside of the lease of the Oearln property, there ha been little move ment In down-town real estate, although It ta known that several deala are under way. It is reported on deal Is under way for a very important piece of prop erty, and that about $400,000 la involved. While the market has not shown many big deals In down-town property, there have been several transfers In volving sums ranging from tlO.ttt to lio.ooo. On of these wss closed yes terday whan Alexander Kerr purchased through B. J. Daly of M. A. Htrseh a fractional let 31 by tt feet on the north slds of Washington street between Eighteenth and Nineteenth. While the consideration announced la nominal, it Is understood that the real purchase price waa something between 111.000 and 111,000.
