SAN FRANCISCO-A few days ago, GlobeSt.com reported that the big picture for Silicon Valley is that it keeps reinventing itself. That came from a recent presentation by Russell Hancock, president and CEO of Joint Venture Silicon Valley at Cornish & Carey Commercial Newmark Knight Frank's recent forecast event here. In an update to that story, Phil Mahoney, EVP of corporate and institutional services at Cornish & Carey Commercial Newmark Knight Frank, says that the Bay area will continue to lead the nation in 2014.
“Smaller companies will play a bigger role for the Bay Area in 2014,” he said, “which is sort of back to the future… It is healthy, and back to what it has been in the past.”
According to Mahoney, “more people are working in Silicon Valley than ever before, and that is a positive thing.”
As for class A rates, Mahoney expects them to go up in 2014.
Entitlements are expensive, he added, and difficult, and “they aren't going to get any easier in 2014,” said Mahoney.
He also spoke a bit about CalTrain access, which he expects to show a 60% growth by 2035. “That is good news.”
One of the issues to look for, according to Mahoney, is the stock market, “which is getting a slow start this year.” But overall, Mahoney said, “we are pretty upbeat about things in the area.”
