Big West Coast Office Expo 2017 | Bisnow | 19 September 2017 | Hotel Nikko , 222 Mason Street San Francisco, CA, 94102

The West Coast has led the U.S. recovery in terms of income growth and job creation throughout this cycle. Benefiting from its booming knowledge and creative economies, the urban cores in primary markets across the Western U.S. have experienced unprecedented growth over the past decade. In particular, Silicon Valley set the foundation and really set the trend that has redefined the workplace.

The competitive landscape in cities like San Francisco, Seattle, & Los Angeles is fierce. Ownership groups have had to adapt quickly to evolving trends. Developing, operating and investing in Office product now requires a more in-depth understanding of tenant priorities. Workplace wellness, contemporary design, adaptability, sustainability, and walkability have evolved from amenities to requirements that drastically improve talent retention, productivity, & employee happiness.

At Bisnow's Annual Office Leasing & Development Event, we've gathered an innovative group of the West Coast's leading investors, developers, tenants, construction, design & technology experts to help paint a picture of where we have been and where the West Coast is headed in the office market.
