Details

Heading into 2018 there were many questions surrounding office property in the Bay Area. Many of which were related to land values, asking office rents and where the next tenant hub is going to be. Unlike other markets in the country, the Bay Area is unique.

Is the uniqueness a positive or a negative? Are people being priced out of living here? Are companies being priced out of working here? Labor, construction and entitlement costs on the rise what are we to say or do?

Listen, I'm not here to discuss the negatives. There are many positives in this market. The energy this market exudes is this bar none, the people are active in the community with regard to projects coming online. Developers want to help this community, tenants want to give back to their respective communities. The economy is growing: office, healthcare, biotech, and multifamily are coming out of the ground to support public demand.
