Welcome

Thank you for visiting the San Francisco web page of CresaPartners. Our San Francisco office continues to flourish under the leadership of Craig Zodikoff, who joined in December of 2009 as our new Managing Principal.

During these uncertain times, our firm offers our clients a stable partner with no debt, increasing revenues and a growing talent pool. We look forward to adding value to your team through our focused experience with corporate real estate users.

Our Vision

As a real estate services partnership, our team provides strategic and customized real estate solutions for occupants, implemented through our global platform, without conflicts.  With regional offices in San Jose and Palo Alto, we are the largest tenant representation firm in the Bay Area.

We value our clients equally and have the flexibility to scale our services to provide the resources necessary to implement solutions, ranging from a one-time local real estate transaction to managing all aspects of a global real estate portfolio through our comprehensive services platform.  Our clients have portfolios ranging in size from 1,200 square feet locally to 12 million square feet globally.

Our clients typically view our advisors as an extension of their internal resources, often integrating our team to the point that our company brand becomes invisible to their internal customers.

Our Experience

Our team averages 15 years' experience within the real estate industry.  We have expertise in many industries and have developed the following areas of specialization:

  • Law and Professional Services
  • Technology
  • Consumer Products
  • Healthcare
  • Insurance
  • Life Science
  • M&A/Restructuring
  • Nonprofits

Our Market

The cultural epicenter of the 7th largest economy in the world, San Francisco is home to some of the most innovative and transformational companies in the region such as Letterman Digital Arts, Wells Fargo, PG&E, Gap, Inc, Charles Schwab & Co., Levi Strauss, Blue Shield of CA, Dolby Laboratories, Williams Sonoma, Visa, Salesforce.com, and Twitter. Our vibrant office market consists of over 60 million square feet of space. 

The San Francisco office market has seen the worst of the recession, as the downward rent spiral appears to be flattening. Rents have stabilized in some of the stronger submarkets such as Mission Bay, the biotech center, as well as parts of SOMA (South of Market), as dot com space is being absorbed by software design firms and new social and business networking enterprises.  Leasing activity has increased as those tenants who have put off necessary business decisions are now “ carpe diem” focused on  the current opportunity of lower rents and more choices to upgrade premises while locking in lower rents.  For more detail regarding our local market, please see the San Francisco Tenant’s Guide.
