Many of our clients have been asking about how our new office is coming in SanFran, so I thought I would post this video which shows the progress. For those keeping notes at home, we’ve been working for the last 6 months on opening our office in SanFran. We really got lucky by a chance meeting with Mitch Kemp of PCL Real Estate in SanFrancisco (he’s been a force in the SanFran commercial market for over 30 years) who showed us properties all over the city. By complete serendepity we heard from Mitch that some space recently came available in the Hearst building, which is one of the most recognizable landmarks in SanFran located right in heart of the city.

Office space rarely comes available there as I think the average tenant occupancy is over 15 years with some tenants being there over 60 years. Did I mention the Hearst Corporation also has offices in the buildings for a few of their magazines: O,Oprah Magazine, Good Housekeeping, Cosmo, Esquire and a number of others. You can probably guess we’ll be hanging out in the lounge seeing what story opportunities are cooking!!!! Long story short, we secured space in the Hearst Building and demolition started 2 weeks ago. I flew out last week to check on the progress and finalize paint, carpet, etc and took this short video. -We’ll try to keep you abreast of the progress in the weeks/months to come.
