## Resource

AI is rewriting the Bay Area’s office leasing map, flipping the traditional north-south trend as San Francisco becomes the launchpad and Silicon Valley the new hotspot. Giants like OpenAI, Apple, and Databricks are snapping up massive leases in Mountain View and Sunnyvale, shrinking vacancy and forcing even companies like Google to pull back subleases. Landlords are holding tight on space, rejecting deep discounts as demand surges for AI-driven R&D. Meanwhile, San Francisco sees a “flight to quality,” with premium rents soaring while older buildings languish — even as new high-end towers rise. AI’s physical footprint is expanding, driving demand into neighborhoods like Dogpatch and Potrero Hill, and even East Bay hubs like Berkeley and Emeryville are waking up. This isn’t just a real estate shift — it’s a tech-driven reimagining of where innovation happens. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
