According to the U.S. Census Bureau,
The San Francisco commercial real estate market has an inventory of more than 89 million square feet. Much of this is Class A commercial real estate concentrated in San Francisco’s Financial District. Life sciences and high technology businesses are driving declining vacancy rates and sales in 2014 were the second highest in the city’s history. An additional 13 million square feet of new development is planned, with seven million more square feet planned for the Mission Bay district, San Francisco’s Life Sciences hub.
San Francisco’s strong residential real estate market is evidenced by steadily rising sales prices and one of the lowest vacancy rates in the country. The city is densely populated with most of the population living in multi-unit dwellings. New condominiums and infill development are taking place largely in the SoMA and Potrero Hill districts.
