SAN Francisco's commercial real estate market may be foretelling a slowdown in the city's heated technology-driven economy.
Office subleasing, an early indicator of past downturns, is at the highest level since 2010. The amount of available space from subleases in the city jumped to 1.9 million square feet last month, a 46 per cent increase from the end of the third quarter, according to a report from Cushman & Wakefield Inc. Twitter Inc, Intuit Inc, and Zenefits are among tech companies putting excess space on the market.
