Dropbox Inks Agreement for the Entire Space at Under-Construction Kilroy Facility in SOMA

By Alex Girda, Associate Editor

As San Francisco’s office market is continuing to escalate, and the city’s image is booming, being recently named as the most dynamic city in the world, further proof of the area’s tech appeal was recently revealed. The office facility that Kilroy Realty Corporation has been developing in the SOMA district for the past few months is already fully leased as the company has announced the completion of a complete leasing agreement with growing tech company Dropbox.

The cloud storage and data-syncing market leader has inked a deal for 12 years at the under-construction facility. The deal was brokered by a CBRE team led by Tim Kazul, Luke Ogelsby and Laurence Morgan on behalf of Dropbox, and a separate team including Phil Tippett, Cori English and Sherman Chan representing Kilroy.

The office asset being developed at 333 Brannan Street in South of Market will be a six-story building offering a total of 180,000 square feet of space. The property was designed by William McDonough + Partners and will feature modern fixtures such as large, efficient, open floor plates, abundant natural light, 100 percent outside air capability, and a large roof-top garden and a roof deck. The state-of-the art facility is seeking LEED Platinum certification from the U.S. Green Building Council, thus making it the second San Francisco asset to be developed by KRC to pursue the honor, the first being the 350 Mission Street office tower leased by Salesforce.

Green-minded fixtures at the property will include on-site power generation, a rainwater reclamation system expected to reduce energy usage by approximately 26 percent and water usage by 45 percent when compared to a similar building in terms of size.
