In this real‑estate vlog, Austin Klar highlights the rapid commercial expansion of San Francisco’s Mission Bay neighborhood. He contrasts the city‑wide office vacancy rate of roughly 30% with Mission Bay’s much lower 12% vacancy, attributing the trend to massive new leases such as OpenAI’s 800,000 sq ft, Visa’s 300,000 sq ft, and the Golden State Warriors’ 71,000 sq ft. Klar also points to the area’s supporting infrastructure—nearby hospitals, a vibrant food scene, developments like Mission Rock, Thrive City, RH at Pier 70, and proximity to the Chase Center, Oracle Park, as well as new parks (China Basin, Bayfront) and high‑rise amenity buildings (Canyon, Verde). He emphasizes that substantial development remains, positioning Mission Bay as an increasingly desirable destination for both businesses and residents, and invites viewers to comment and follow for more Bay Area real‑estate insights.

Chapters

Mission Bay is absolutely booming right now, and it's putting every other neighborhood in San Francisco to shame. At a time where the city's overall office vacancy rate is in the mid-30% range, Mission Bay's is close to 12%, with more leasing occurring than companies vacating, in large part because of the nearly 800,000 square feet of office space leased by OpenAI, 300,000 square feet of office space leased by Visa, 71,000 square feet of office space leased by the Golden State Warriors, and a ton of other tenants moving into the now bustling central waterfront location. With the hospital nearby and all the awesome food —nearby Mission Rock, Thrive City, the nearby RH at Pier 70, and proximity to Chase Center and Oracle Park, multiple brand new park spaces like China Basin Park and Bayfront Park, and new high-rise amenity buildings like Canyon and Verde, the area is definitely becoming a sought-after destination for businesses and residents. There's still so much development left in the area, and I'm stoked to see all the incredible new spaces open up at the waterfront.
