Q1 2022: San Francisco begins to show signs of life after Covid as tech giants continue to set trends and lead the way in Bay Area real estate. The official return to work is upon us as we exit the 1st quarter of 2022.
We entered 2022 with great uncertainty around the state of the office market with unprecedented surges in Covid-19 cases due to the Omicron Variant. However, as cases of Covid-19 continued to drop in the Bay Area, industry leaders such as Salesforce, Google, Meta, Apple and Microsoft all announced their plans to return to the office. This will likely set the tone for smaller companies to follow suit.
