What's the state of commercial real estate in San Francisco, California? I will be giving you my personal insights of what I have seen happen to the city and what I think has led the city to its current demise. Read this entire episode here: bit.ly/3NExVNY 1. A San Francisco office building that was worth $300 million pre-pandemic is now in contract for around $60 million. And that is between 200 to 225/sf. The building next door at 550 California St is reportedly in contracts for $130 a square foot. Lastly, a friend of mine put an offer in an office building about a month ago, her offer was $75 a square foot and although she did not get the building, she ended up going to the second round, which means that people are considering $75/sf offers. Let that sink in for a bit! Rent was getting close to $100/sf per year. And now you are able to buy an entire office building for between 1.5-2 years worth of rent pre-pandemic. 2. Uber announced that they will be leasing out their entire office building in San Francisco. 3. Google announced that they will be shedding 1.4 million square feet of office space in Silicon Valley. As we all know commercial loans are 3, 5 or 7 year fixed, a lot of them are coming up and they have to refinance at not only double the interest rates, but also they have to refinance when their office building is completely vacant - and nobody will give you financing for that. Operators are returning the keys to the bank, or they are having fire sales which is what happened with this 350 California Street building. 4. Nordstrom is closing both of its Stores in downtown San Francisco, citing the changing dynamics of the area that hasn't recovered since the pandemic and has been in the spotlight for crime. 5. AT&T just announced that they're closing its flagship store, citing declining customer visits, occupancy and sales. 6. Cinemark also just decided to permanently close the Century San Francisco Centre 9 and XD theater following a review of local business conditions. 7. Whole Foods in Downtown San Francisco Closing a Year After Opening due to safety issues. 8. Several Other Major Retailer closures since the pandemic: Saks Off Fifth, Anthropologie, Office Depot, Amazon Go, The Real Real, CB2, Banana Republic, Athleta, The Container Store, Crate and Barrel, Disney, Marshalls, H&M, The Gap. Imagine how many hundreds of 1,000s if not millions of square feet will be available for rent right now in the retail space alone in this city? But who would want to open anything when criminals can steal what they want, technically up to $950. There are homeless tents in many of these major streets. These people are on drugs, a lot of the times shooting themselves up with needles. Sometimes you're stepping on needles yourself, sometimes they're defecating or urinating right in front of you. Why and who would want to take up that space for rent and who would even be successful there to begin with? 9. Westfield Mall announces that they are returning the keys to the bank, they have been operating in the San Francisco center for over two decades. They are attributing this decision to the challenging operating conditions in downtown San Francisco, which have led to decline in sales, occupancy, and foot traffic. 10. Hilton Union Square (which is one of the largest hotels in the city, an entire block) along with Park 55 Hotel will be stopping payments on their loan. 11. Huntington Hotel and Yotel were recently sold in foreclosure auctions. This is not only because San Francisco took a very long time to get out of the COVID mentality, but also, because of the crime and all of the issues with the homeless and everything else. 12. People don't want to have conferences in San Francisco anymore. Hotels are struggling.

San Francisco's largest hotel, the Hilton Union Square, was surrendered to the bank by the owner, Park Hotels and Resorts, who pointedly stated that it's time for the lender to "reimagine and rethink" their ownership. One could argue that this statement is as surreal as a Dali painting, brimming with irony and subtle jabs at the city's current situation. The hotel's once prime location, now teetering on the edge of the infamous Tenderloin district, seems to be losing its allure faster than a rabbit in a magic show.The decision to relinquish ownership stems from various factors that have made the San Francisco market less desirable. Let's face it, the "street conditions" are more chaotic than a Marx Brothers comedy routine, with the city's "open area drug market" and uninviting street scenes putting a significant dent in the foot traffic. Meanwhile, the work-from-home trend has seen office buildings resemble ghost towns on the weekends, amplifying the problem. But let's not blame the concrete, the asphalt is perfectly fine, the problem is what's occupying the streets. I'm sure the poor concrete is having an existential crisis, feeling undeserved blame.So, what's next for the city by the bay? JP Morgan Chase, having recently taken over San Francisco-based First Republic Bank, may feel like the cat that got the cream, but it's not all sunshine and rainbows. Despite a new ad campaign aimed at revitalizing the city's image, let's not kid ourselves, it's a monumental task akin to Sisyphus pushing his boulder uphill. Until the city truly addresses its underlying problems, the outlook for commercial real estate and the tourism industry looks as appealing as a Groucho Marx one-liner at a funeral. So for now, we'll just have to watch this cityscape sitcom unfold and hope for a laugh or two.#SanFrancisco #HiltonUnionSquare #DowntownCrisisSupport the show

Episode 021 - Billy Ekofo and Day 3 Wrap Perhaps the most beautiful moment of Inman Connect was the reunion of Billy Ekofo with his family, who/whom he hadn't seen in 18 years. (We can't ever get the whole who/whom thing right, so we just put both.) There wasn't a dry eye in the house as Billy was reunited with his family as the main stage crowd watched in awe. Serendipitously, it was Billy who stopped by our Podcasting Command Center at Inman Connect San Francisco (PCCICSF) and shared his reactions, plans and feelings after that event. It was incredible!

Porchlight partners with Greenhouse, a software company that optimizes hiring practices, for a show of stories about JOBS. Our storytelling superstars for this special edition include writer/musician Eric Shea, HIV educator Ed Wolf, and producer/comedian Dana Merwin.    Hosted by Arline Klatte at the Hilton Union Square on May 26, 2016. Recorded by PSAV and mixed by Patty Fung.

At the Hilton Union Square in the heart of San Francisco, during Infosys’ annual flagship conference Confluence, the chief executive talks about his deeply held beliefs and lessons learned through his journey in the world of innovation and how technology can move us forward. Dr. Vishal Sikka is a champion of technology, and clearly sees it as an amplifier of human potential. He wants to use software in purposeful ways to address some of the biggest challenges of our times. As CEO of Infosys, Dr. Sikka is renewing existing landscapes to fundamentally drive down costs, for clients, using automation and artificial intelligence, and at the same time bringing breakthrough innovation to help them transform user and consumer experiences, leverage data in entirely new ways, tap into new business opportunities and create new business models. For example, the Zero Distance initiative, which focuses on bringing innovation to every project for every client on an ongoing basis, has set a precedent in the industry for driving grassroots innovation. Prior to joining Infosys, he was a member of the Executive Board of SAP. He is credited with creating SAP’s breakthrough in-memory data platform SAP HANA, the fastest growing product in SAP’s history. He received his BS in Computer Science from Syracuse and holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Stanford. Listen to episode here. [[ This is a content summary only.
