Real estate services · San Francisco
Management, asset services and brokerage for Bay Area commercial real estate. We work for the owners of buildings and for the tenants inside them.
Most services firms pick a side. We work both — because the things that make a building worth owning and the things that make it worth occupying are mostly the same things.
Owners
People who own the building
Institutional and private owners who want operations run to an owner's standard, capital spent where it returns, and space leased by someone who will still be there when the lease is administered.
Management · Asset services · Landlord leasing
Tenants
People who work in it
Companies looking for space, and companies already in a building we manage. One point of contact that does not change when a management contract does, and real help with the space itself.
Tenant representation · Occupancy services · Build-out
Day-to-day operations with an owner's eye on cost. Vendor management, maintenance, inspections, and reporting that ties to the operating statement rather than sitting beside it.
Budgets, business plans and capital programs. Expense recovery examined line by line, so the non-recoverable portion is visible and can be attacked.
Leasing, renewals and investment sales, negotiated by principals who will live with the lease afterwards rather than an agent who moves on at signature.
Finding and negotiating space, with the advantage of knowing how landlords actually underwrite a deal — because we are one. Market search, economics, and the clauses that matter three years in.
For tenants in buildings we manage: one address and one number that stay the same, maintenance handled rather than logged, and someone who answers on the first call.
Test fits, space plans, permits and construction coordination, so the space you signed for is the space you get — on the schedule you were promised.
Repositionings carried from underwriting through construction to lease-up. Photography is being shot — these are the projects it will cover.
The Offices at Public Market. Common-area repositioning, suite fit-outs and an active leasing program across a multi-tenant office building.
Streetscape and ground-floor repositioning on Theater Way, including outdoor dining, facade work and a re-tenanting program.
Conversion of the former Mayfield Mall into research and development space — one of the larger adaptive-reuse projects on the Peninsula.
Repositioning of a street-facing mixed-use asset, from design and materials through construction and lease-up.
Draft — case study copy is placeholder pending your review, and each project needs its final figures (square footage, dates, outcome) before this page goes public.
What owners are actually buying when they hire a services firm, and how we think about it.
A mosaic is not one picture. It is many small pieces, each one placed with intent — which is also a fair description of running a building well.
Every recommendation gets tested against the question we ask about our own assets: does this improve net operating income, or protect the relationship with the tenant who pays it?
What is not being recovered, and why, is the first thing we look at. It is usually where the money is, and it is usually invisible in a standard report.
Files, correspondence and operating history stay with the building and its owner — not with whoever happens to be managing it this year.
Materials, lighting and common areas are underwritten like any other capital item, because they determine what a space leases for.
For leasing enquiries, management proposals, or a conversation about an asset you own.
Tenants in a building we manage: use the service address, or the direct number posted in your building.
