Bisnow Allen Matkins State of SF Market - Paul Stein - SKS Investments
SKS Investments managing partner Paul Stein says some companies are using views to attract talent, like Supercell's recent top-floor lease of 555 Cal. S.F. has always been a smaller-sized tenant market, and he wonders whether that will change with big blocks eaten up by single tenants like a Chevron. With ample space on the market, it's an unusually good time to be leasing; he's not taking it for granted because it doesn't happen too often. (That's the same reason reason we watch the Olympics, despite the fact that curling isn't terribly exciting.) In terms of the types of build-out, there's a herding instinct to go brick and timber and maybe take a ceiling out.
