Agile Workspace Provider Adds Space at 225 Bush Street and 455 Market Street in the Financial District, Totaling Another 80,210 Square Feet 

San Francisco, Calif. (February 28, 2019) – Knotel, the premier flexible workspace provider, announced today that it has completed two leasing transactions totaling 80,219 square feet in San Francisco’s Financial District.

The new locations represent the continued expansion of Knotel’s flexible office platform in San Francisco, a move that aligns with its larger corporate strategy to grow its business across the U.S. and around the world. With the leases announced today, Knotel’s overall footprint in the city is now more than 300,000 square feet.

The new leases include:

• 53,555 square feet of space at UBS Realty Investors’ 455 Market Street. The flexible office company will operate the 7^thand 8^th floors of the 23-story, class A office building, which boasts a renovated lobby, an underground parking garage, and immediate access to BART and MUNI, and the Transbay Terminal.
• a 26,664 square-foot space at the former Standard Oil Building located at 225 Bush Street. The lease will encompass the 11^thfloor of the 24-story office building, which already accommodates several high-profile tech companies.

 

Upon closing the deals, Amol Sarva, CEO of Knotel, commented: “San Francisco is our second largest market, so it's unsurprising that we already have the most locations in town for flexible office. However, given the competitive office market and high cost of doing business, we will continue to expand aggressively to meet the demands of today’s modern tenants.”

Shap Roder, Brooke Agresti, Reuben Torenberg, and Jenny Haeg of CBRE represented Knotel at 225 Bush Street, while the landlord, Kylli Inc., was represented by Matt Shewey of JLL. CBRE represented Knotel at 455 Market Street, while the landlord, UBS Realty Investors, was represented by John Walsh and David Duble of Cushman & Wakefield.
