Bay Area // San Francisco Uber reportedly trying to shed a third of its S.F. office space Danielle Echeverria May 19, 2023Updated: May 19, 2023 12:40 p.m. Facebook Twitter Email Comments San Francisco-based Uber reportedly is looking to sublease space at multiple locations in the city. San Francisco-based Uber reportedly is looking to sublease space at multiple locations in the city. Eric Risberg/Associated Press Uber is looking to shed office space in one of the four Mission Bay buildings that make up the ride-hailing giant's headquarters, CoStar News reported, another blow to San Francisco as major tech companies offload their office space. Uber is hoping to sublease 286,548 square feet in its building at 1725 Third St. -- about a third of its headquarters space. Uber told CoStar News that the company never occupied the building. The San Francisco Business Times reported in 2021 that the company was privately marketing the space but Uber is now publicly listing it. Uber is still listing its space at its former headquarters at 1455 Market St. for sublease as well. That listing, which came before the pandemic, never attracted a subtenant as the city's office market weakened. Though Uber's building was already vacant, other companies embracing remote work have been off-loading office space they once occupied, bringing San Francisco's office vacancy rate to record highs. Salesforce, the city's largest private employer, has listed offices for lease at 50 Fremont St. and in Salesforce Tower and 350 Mission St. Salesforce's subsidiary Slack also left its former headquarters at 500 Howard St. and listed sublease space at 45 Fremont. Meta listed all 435,000 square feet at 181 Fremont for sublease. About 31% of downtown San Francisco's office space is now available for lease or sublease. In early 2020, the vacancy rate was around 4%. Chronicle staff writer Roland Li contributed to this report.
