Hey there, Tech Trailblazers! 🤖✨

San Francisco’s office market is rebounding, with technology firms driving a 107 percent surge in leasing and more than five million square feet taken in recent years. Forecasts point to sixteen million square feet by 2030.

In this issue, we highlight why established players are opting for Class A space, while startups prefer flexible Class B footprints. Demand is easing vacancy and steadying rents. We also look at what a third tech cycle, following the dot-com and mobile app eras, could mean for downtown neighborhoods.

🏢 AI Boom Lifts San Francisco Office Leasing

Leasing tied to advanced technology firms has surged 107 percent, with forecasts of 16 million square feet by 2030. The piece tracks falling vacancies and revived districts.

Key Takeaways:

  • 📈 Leasing Surges. Demand rose 107 percent, signaling San Francisco’s next tech-led upswing.

  • 🧱 Class A vs. Class B: Larger companies tend to prefer premium Class A towers, while startups often opt for flexible Class B spaces.

  • 🏙️ Vacancy Eases. New leases reduce vacancy, nudging rents and improving street-level vitality in core neighborhoods.

  • 🔮 2030 Outlook. Projections indicate 16 million square feet by 2030, suggesting durable demand that extends beyond a short-term spike.

🧠 AI Brings New Hope for Stroke Care and Recovery

From faster CT scans to personalized rehabilitation, technology is accelerating stroke care. The article explains how tools triage patients and predict who benefits most.

Key Takeaways:

  • 🏥 Faster Triage. Algorithms flag hemorrhages and large-vessel occlusions, alerting teams and shaving critical minutes.

  • 🩺 Better Treatment Decisions. Prediction models help assess treatment options, transfers, and time windows with greater accuracy.

  • 🧠 Personalized Rehabilitation. Computer vision and wearables track progress, adapt exercises, and support patients between clinic visits.

  • 🔒 Safety and Ethics. Hospitals rely on validated data, bias checks, and human oversight to ensure that technology enhances clinicians' capabilities without overreaching.

Why It Matters

AI-driven demand is on track to halve vacancy by 2030. Pricing power, financing terms, and lease-up timelines are shifting toward well-located assets. Class A strength supports rents and valuations, while Class B flexibility reduces execution risk for younger firms.

The city’s reputation and street-level vitality improve as leasing spreads to commercial corridors. However, affordability pressures and gentrification risks rise, so long-term gains will depend on balancing growth with community impact.
