SAN FRANCISCO-In much the same way that it revolutionized the workplace, the tech industry is redefining the concept of corporate housing, and in San Francisco in particular, growth in corporate housing is impacting the broader residential and hospitality markets.

Anthony Gonzolez, business development associate at Synergy Corporate Housing of San Ramon recently took a reporter from the San Francisco Chronicle to see an apartment the company leases in the Nema complex. Synergy then releases those apartments to companies like Twitter and Square, who provided them to interns, contractors and new employees who need to be in town for a month or longer.

“This is more comfortable than a hotel, and includes access to all the building's amenities, from the solarium to yoga classes,” Gonzalez told the reporter. “With clients like Yelp, Uber, Dropbox, Zynga, Twitter and Square, we're excited to be here in the middle of the new Mid-Market area.”
