BOSTON—For Boston Properties, the start of the year was all about investment sales. That was the clear message during the company's first quarter earnings call Wednesday, where the company's executives spoke of having done numerous deals, or taking note of ripe markets, around the country.
“We're bullish on San Francisco because you have companies there that were unknown just two or three years ago that are now taking over a million square feet,” said Mort Zuckerman, founder, chairman and former CEO.
“It's clear there's a general groundswell of demand, so that is one area where we're being more aggressive, both in the assembly of sites and development of new buildings.” He continued, “We are going to build over a million and a half feet in San Francisco over the next few years,” he said.
