Conclusion
We’ve been hoping there was light at the end of the tunnel
for quite some time for owners of office buildings in the
East Bay. Based on some of the current economic trends
and other favorable happenings, it looks as though relief
may be on the way. It may take several years for a full
recovery to manifest itself but in the meantime, tenants can
take advantage of historical low rents in the market,
upgrade their spaces, and receive flexible terms allowing
for growth. We are hopeful that the rest of 2010 will bring
continued good news and revive the job creation engine
that we have historically been fortunate enough to
experience in the East Bay.
