Guest: Derek Daniels, Colliers
Here's how AI is directly driving up real estate values.
Â
My YouTube show/podcast guest this week is Derek Daniels, Regional Research Director for Colliers in the Bay Area.
Â
Derek is a San Francisco office market expert and see first-hand the significant impact of AI on San Francisco's commercial real estate market.

This is a great episode if you are anywhere near an AI hub of activity (San Francisco and environs, of course, Seattle, Boston, NYC, and Austin).
Â
You'll learn about the evolving dynamics of the commercial real estate market driven by AI and get insights into opportunities for adaptation, growth, and investment.

Get this.

In San Francisco along, AI companies have leased (at time of recoding) 1.5 million square feet of office space, representing 25% of new leases amidst a backdrop of 35 million square feet of vacant space.
Â
Might not seem like a huge proportion - but for the owners of those office building…!
Â
Listen in to learn about the variety of spaces AI companies are leasing, from Class C to high-end Class A offices, light industrial spaces, and why flexibility and hybrid work models are crucial for these companies.
Â
And, as always, Derek was the proud recipient of my weekly three questions I ask of all guests.

Â
