San Francisco has all the ingredients. - Talent. - Capital. - Culture of creation and risk taking. - Tons to do. - Supportive echosystem of innovation. - Diversity. - Natural beauty. All we are missing is a coherent local government. Once we get our shit together, we will witness another long boom. It's on us, the voters. I'm optimistic. I believe in San Francisco!

A tidal wave of demand for R&D/Flex/Advanced Manufacturing space is about to hit the San Francisco Bay Area. Actually it’s already here and accelerating. Here is the year by year cumulative leasing breakdown for Robotics companies in the Bay Area: 2020 - 455,000 SF across 14 leases 2021 - 2,007,000 SF across 52 leases 2022 - 3,739,000 SF across 89 leases 2023 - 5,188,000 SF across 122 leases 2024 - 6,391,000 SF across 165 leases 2025 - 8,539,000 SF across 227 leases 2026 YTD - 13,254,000 across 312 leases The above is ONLY robotics. It does NOT include companies in defense, chips, space, or other advanced manufacturing. All of which have also seen an explosion in new VC investment and real estate demand. The needs of these companies vary widely but usually it’s heavy power, heavy floor load capacity, tall ceilings, good loading. Sometimes a challenging combination. Most of the best product has been leased. Many robotics companies are forced into square peg round hole situations where they are leasing buildings that weren’t designed for their work. For example, we are seeing advanced manufacturing companies lease life sciences buildings or even office buildings. Sometimes this works just fine. Unfortunately we have seen many companies make costly mistakes leasing facilities only to learn they can’t do certain work because of unforeseen physical constraints, zoning, and other issues. Making the wrong leasing decision can set your company back. There are still opportunities out there for advanced manufacturing facilities if you know where and how to look. Our team at JLL specializes in this type of work. If you need help finding your advanced manufacturing facilities locally or across the country, feel free to shoot me an email: [email protected]

IRS app… This is miracle level execution

Such a fun project to work on! @poseidonaero is the real deal The Bay Area RE market is exploding with Robotics/Defense/Aerospace/Chips demand. Power/ceiling heights/roll up doors/floor loads are my world now 🤣

San Francisco taxes are out of control and way too high. That being said, if tax rates remained at current levels with some reduction of GRT for large companies, I could get behind funneling tax dollars to do this. The rapid bus lines suck. Want less cars, more bikes, and better bike lanes do this PS - maybe a few @boringcompany car tunnels as well!

Codex is incredible for non technical people like me. Highly recommend

Jackie Fielder is clearly unfit for office and must resign. She literally can’t be relied upon to fulfill her duties. She should resign partly because she’s in mental health crisis and absent but MOSTLY because she allegedly broke the law by leaking confidential city documents for political reasons. Are we not going to have simple standards? Call me old fashioned but I prefer my elected officials to be of sound mind, to show up for work, and to NOT BREAK THE LAW. She has to go and I hope she’s prosecuted to the full extent of the law for the illegal leaks. I also hope she gets help, recovers, finds happiness, and a gets less stressful job that suits her.

San Francisco is on the ups but only because a small number of moderates were elected. The majority is fragile so these races are critical to keep the momentum. Follow @GrowSF and support @mattdorsey, Manny Yekutiel, and @theoellingtonSF for supervisor in the November election.

Shutting down abundant, clean, and reliable energy is moronic. This facility should be expanded. Nuclear is safe, clean, and very environmentally friendly.

Solid work
