Many thanks to Mike Gschwend for sharing an overview of the Jackson Square office space market.  Personally, it’s one my favorite neighborhoods in San Francisco and also one of the more competitive submarkets in San Francisco.  The neighborhood has been a popular spot for creative firms and the hedge fund crowd.  If the commercial real estate market does what everyone is predicting it will do next year (read get worse) then 2009 may be the year to find a decent value in Jackson Square.

Potrero Hill in San Francisco has been home to many great companies (both large and small) over the years.  Companies have always found Potrero Hill as a great alternative for office space and industrial space in San Francisco.  The neighborhood is defined by its diverse make up of buildings and commercial uses.  It’s home to creative firms, tech companies, startups, and design firms.  Companies are typically attracted to the look and feel of the neighborhood and spaces, the relatively cheaper rents and the proximity to transportation.

Our friend Jonathan Heaton generously contributed this neighborhood video describing the specifics of the Potrero Hill commercial real estate submarket.

This San Francisco space listing was recently added to Rofo.  Our office is located very close to this building (the home of Jack Falstaff Restaurant).  Knowing that this location and size are hard to come by, I would think this space would be appealing to many businesses trying to set up shop in the area.
