If you perform a search for small San Francisco Office Space (less than 1,000 sqft) on Rofo you’ll find many compelling options.   These spaces tend to be short term, furnished and ready to go.  All very important things for an entrepreneur in today’s environment.  But remember not all square feet are created equal.  Depending on the layout and actual usable square feet you’ll fit somewhere between 2 and 5 people in a 1,000 feet.

Emeryville has been the home to many small businesses and startups that have grown into some of the most recognizable brands. Thanks to Eli Ceryak for providing us with an overview of the Emeryville commercial real estate market.

Today, Rofo reached a new milestone.  The 6,000th commercial space listing (for lease) in the Bay Area was added to the site. The 6,000th space is a 1,000 sqft retail space in Fremont.

With the market softening I expect that number to continue to rise at a good clip through the end of 2008 and into 2009 (many more subleases to be had).
