- The Mission Bay, Potrero Hill, and Mission submarkets have led San Francisco’s recovery, posting the steepest declines in total availability over the past two years at -46.4%, -29.4%, and -22.9%, respectively. This far outpaces the broader market’s modest -3.8% drop.
- This momentum has been driven largely by AI companies, which signed the largest leases in each of these submarkets.
- As AI firms expand beyond these initial hotspots, the Waterfront/North Beach and Financial District submarkets have also seen a meaningful decrease in total availability at -6.5% and -5.7% over the past year with the landlords aggressively turning towards plug-and-play solutions tailored for AI companies to move in immediately.
