AI startups continue fueling San Francisco's office recovery
In Brief Early-stage AI startups are imbuing new life into San Francisco's Northern Waterfront, after years of 'for lease' signs dotting the post-pandemic landscape. According to the San Francisco Business Times, five AI-focused companies — four backed by Y Combinator — recently leased 23,900 square feet at the Waterfront Plaza complex. This is part of a citywide trend: AI firms are one of the few sectors expanding in San Francisco, accounting for 1.6 million square feet leased last year and now occupying 5 million total. (Unsurprisingly, OpenAI accounts for a sizable chunk of that overall figure.) Real estate services firm CBRE projects that these scrappy startups could reach 21 million in square feet within five years, potentially halving the city's current 35.8% vacancy rate and creating tens of thousands of jobs. 'It could fundamentally change the vibrancy of downtown,' CBRE analyst Colin Yasukochi tells the outlet. Waterfront Plaza is a five-building campus totaling 442,000 square feet; among its past tenants is WeWork.

CBRE Arranges $25.7-Million Sale of Westport Plaza & Square in Costa Mesa
CBRE announced the sale of Westport Plaza & Square, a 39,334-square-foot shopping center along East 17th Street in Costa Mesa, California, to Asana Partners for $25.7 million. CBRE's National Retail Partners-West (NPR-West) team, led by Jimmy Slusher along with Megan Lanni and Shaya Northrup, represented both the seller, Newport Beach-based Space Investment Partners, and the buyer, Asana Partners, in the transaction. Westport Plaza & Square is located at 369 East 17th Street and 1685 Tustin Avenue in Costa Mesa. The property is 97% leased to a mix of popular local tenants, including neighborhood staples Plums Café & Catering, Fleur De Lys, Crumbl Cookies, Common Thread, House of Yogurt, Massimos Pizza, Laser Away and others. 'Westport Plaza & Square enjoys one of the premier retail locations in Orange County. Surrounded by a vibrant mix of national and specialty grocers, upscale dining, stylish boutiques and affluent demographics, the property location serves as its anchor and provides a competitive edge,' said Lanni. Built in 1975 and renovated in 2002 and 2018, the center encompasses 13.73 acres of leased land and benefits from over 535 feet of linear frontage along East 17th Street. Westport Plaza & Square is subject to a long-term ground lease through 2079, with a total remaining term, inclusive of options, of just over 54 years. According to Slusher, 'The sale of Westport Plaza & Square marks a milestone for Costa Mesa's East 17th Street, with the buyer, Asana Partners, becoming the first institutional investor to commit capital along this retail corridor. This acquisition reflects the growing confidence in the area's long-term value and underscores the strategic positioning of the property in the heart of this retail hub.' 'With its compelling neighborhood demographics, the Westport Plaza & Square acquisition aligns with our strategy of targeting well-located, retail assets where we see an opportunity to continue to elevate the shopping and dining experience for the community,' said Bri Baffer, director of investments for Asana Partners. Slusher continued, 'The strong competition to acquire Westport Plaza & Square – from a distinguished pool of well-capitalized investors, including institutional capital – demonstrates investors' preference to own top-tier assets with seasoned, high-performing tenancy, even without a traditional anchor.'
