Mid-Market has been a bugbear of San Francisco mayors for decades,but the city is finally on the cusp of turning around thelong-depressed stretch of the city s grand boulevard, Mayor Ed Leesaid Thursday. I think you re seeing a total resurgence, Lee said as hetoured renovations of the old Merchandise Mart at 10 th and Market streets being transformed into new headquarters fortech companies Twitter, Yammer and CallSocket and home decor website One Kings Lane. It s exciting to see this milestone. A tax break approved last year for companies that expand theirworkforce in the Mid-Market area was central to keeping Twitterheadquartered in San Francisco. Ali Rowghani, the company s chieffinancial officer, said they will have well north of 1,000 workers worldwide when they move into their new San Francisco homethis summer. Twitter has estimated that they can grow to more than 2,600 jobs inthe next five years at their new Mid-Market location,according to the mayor's office. The company currently hasleases on the top three floors about 200,000 square feet of what is now being called Market Square. It also has options tolease two more floors. All told, the 1.1 million-square-foot pair of buildings beingrenovated by Shorenstein Properties is expected to include offices,at least 55,000 square feet of retail space and a full-servicegrocery store, something the area is in dire need of. Demand and the demographics are clearly here, said DougShorenstein, chairman and chief executive officer of the realestate investment and development firm. It s not a done deal,but we have multiple (grocery companies) that are interested. Twitter is expected to move in this summer and serve as an anchorthat will attract smaller businesses. Other tech companies likeZendesk have already moved in nearby. The prospect has jumpstartedapproved housing projects in the area that had lain dormant. Artsprograms and some small businesses flowing to the neighborhood— an American Conservatory Theater expansion, Dottie s TrueBlue Caf , Huckleberry Bicycles — round out the picture, themayor s administration says.
