California Real Estate News: Hightower Opens New Office in San Francisco

   The leading end-to-end leasing management platform for the commercial real estate industry, Hightower, has expanded its brand presence in the West Coast with the opening of its newest office in San Francisco, California.

                "We're excited to expand our West Coast presence into San Francisco," said CEO Brandon Weber. "It's a market that uniquely understands the transformative power of technology, which I think is being proven by how quickly the major landlords and brokerages there are moving to adopt Hightower."

                According to the press release of Hightower in Business Wire, their platform has over 52 million square feet in the Bay Area, and their footing in the market continues to grow with the signing up of major players such as Kilroy Realty Corporation, Shorenstein, Embarcadero Capital Partners, and SteelWave. San Francisco has presented a steady escalation in adoption in the recent months, with an 18 percent month-over-month growth.

                Clients use the Hightower platform to streamline their end-to-end leasing business, in addition to using the built-in analytics and API's to mine portfolio data for new insights that drive better decision making. The company has signed over 90 of the leading commercial landlords including Rudin, Forest City, CREIT, Crocker Partners, Vornado, CBRE, NGKF, and Beacon Capital, JLL.

"These firms represent some of the most respected and influential names in commercial real estate and we look forward to partnering with them to drive efficiencies in their business, as well as continuously improve our product. "We believe these new customers will help signal to the rest of the industry the importance of leasing management platforms and [the importance] of Hightower," said Weber. "It's been incredible to watch sophisticated owners really run with the data we put at their fingertips."
