Silicon Valley Office Broker — Disposition Advisory for Tech-Era Office
Two decades of producer-level institutional office experience across Silicon Valley's core submarkets. Disposition strategy calibrated to the post-2024 office landscape.
The Silicon Valley office market in 2026 — flight to quality, not flight from office
The narrative that office is finished does not apply to Silicon Valley's institutional product. What's happened since 2024 is stratification, not collapse: Class A campuses with active demand from anchor tech occupiers command pricing within 10–15% of pre-2020 peaks. Class B and C product without a clear path to repositioning has lost 30–50% of value. The institutional buyer universe has changed but not disappeared.
For sellers, this means pricing is no longer a single number — it's a function of tenant quality, lease duration, market rent mark-to-market, and the buyer's view of operational efficiency. National-platform brokers tend to apply 2020 cap-rate logic to 2026 deal flow. Submarket-specific institutional discipline does not.
The buyer pools transacting today: opportunistic value-add capital for Class B with conversion or repositioning paths; cross-border family-office capital for trophy stabilized Class A; and selective owner-user acquisitions by major Silicon Valley anchor tenant corporate real estate teams. Reading which pool is the right target for a given asset is the institutional broker's job.
Career office and R&D experience
Career experience as a producer at a major national capital markets platform between 2004 and 2026 included material involvement in approximately 20M+ SF of institutional office and R&D production across Silicon Valley and the broader Bay Area. Submarket coverage included Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Redwood City, East Palo Alto, San Mateo, Foster City, San Jose, Santa Clara, Cupertino, Milpitas, Fremont, and the San Francisco SOMA / FiDi corridors.
Career credits during the period spanned institutional office campus dispositions, multi-asset office portfolio sales, off-market office assemblage, and a long string of R&D and tech-occupant transactions. See the career experience summary →

How we approach Silicon Valley office dispositions in 2026
The job has gotten harder. Pricing is harder to defend. Buyer pools are stratified. And tenant credit quality has become the single biggest pricing variable. The institutional disposition process has adapted accordingly.
Tenant-credit-first underwriting. Every office mandate starts with a detailed read on the in-place tenant roster — credit, expiration, mark-to-market, expansion or contraction signals. Buyers will price based on weighted average lease term and tenant credit before anything else.
Repositioning optionality. For Class B with stabilization questions, we underwrite both stabilized-rent value and conversion paths (residential, lab/R&D, last-mile industrial, data center). Buyers value optionality; sellers should price for it.
Tech-occupant outreach. Beyond the institutional buyer pool, we maintain direct relationships across the major Silicon Valley anchor-tenant corporate real estate community. Owner-user transactions are increasingly material, especially for Class A campuses near a tenant's existing footprint.
Capital markets bridge. For sellers with debt maturities pre-disposition, we coordinate with the lender community (CMBS special servicers, life companies, debt funds) to structure the path that maximizes net to seller — sometimes that's a sale, sometimes it's a refinance bridge then a sale 12 months later.
