20 N. Sutter St. — The Historic Kress Building
A true Stockton landmark has officially found its next chapter, and we’re proud to have been a part of this incredible transaction.
Congratulations to the San Joaquin County Historical Society, the perfect new steward for this iconic property. Preserving Stockton’s history takes passion, vision, and commitment—and they brought all of it to the table.
We’re honored to share this message from the buyer:
“I knew only one real estate firm in town could help us find the right building — the Burns Group. My conviction was ultimately proven correct. Mahala and Will Burns showed me well over a dozen buildings across old Stockton before we settled on the Kress. They patiently worked with us while we assessed the economics of each site. Once we settled on the Kress, the Burns team again displayed their incredible diligence while working with us through the lending process, pinning down details with the seller, and ferrying the Kress transaction to completion. I can’t thank Mahala and Will enough.”
Huge appreciation to everyone involved, and cheers to revitalizing Downtown Stockton one historic building at a time.
The Burns Group Inc.
