for 50 years. the transamerica pyramid has defined the skyline
11:35 pm
of san francisco. now its new owners are hoping a massive redevelopment of the block it sits on will redefine the city's downtown. >> you have to believe, and i'm a big believer in the city and i just i don't just talk about it. i have $1 billion invested behind my belief. >> abc7 news insider phil matier got a first look inside the building and talked with the building's owner about the future of the financial district . >> why would you sink $1 billion into office space in a city that's got a 30% vacancy rate? it's a great question. >> so, you know, i walked when i came to see this building for the first time to buy it. i walked around that corner, looked up to the building, and i told my team, we have to buy this building. it's the fact that this is the symbol of san francisco, no different than the cable cars or the or the golden gate bridge. this building in our investment here, we have $1 billion invested here, is going to rejuvenate this entire neighborhood. you are in the
11:36 pm
center. we call it the pyramid district. now, because you're in the center of these five amazing, 4 or 5 amazing neighborhoods that all collide over here, you know, my dream and my vision from three years ago when we bought the building now came to fruition not only because what we've done here with the building, which you're the first one to see it, but also for the tenants that came here, the gamble, i mean, with one third vacancy rate and all these projections we're seeing about, you know, will work come back. >> will the offices come back? do you think you're going to be able to lease the place out? >> well, look, we've signed multiple leases. give it some some stats. when i bought the building, the rents here were between $60 to $100 a foot. we've signed leases between $100 to $275. so you're actually asking more? more than twice what it was before. covid. we can't look at all office being equal. there's office that that has to be demolished. there's plenty of buildings that i could walk you outside here and in every city in new york and chicago, in miami, that just have to go because they're not relevant anymore for the future of how people work. the idea
11:37 pm
with this building and with other buildings that we own, because we only we only operate in a trophy esque market. >> chicago, miami, new york, beverly hills, correct. um, what what you're seeing today and mostly after covet also is this huge flight to quality, right? >> tenants want the best product. money is not an issue. we're talking today. the stock market today is an all time high. there's no issue with the economy of this country. the issue is that finally, people understood that their office experience shouldn't be worse than their home experience. what we've done is we've created an experience here and in any other building that we've developed or that we remastered. the idea is that the hospitality, the level of experience that an office building should be at the highest level. we have to earn the commute. you ask about the future of office. people have to have a reason to come to work. right now, employers are having a tough time getting their workers back. >> three days a week is that how you're banking on this? that people would come in three days
11:38 pm
a week or the first day? >> first thing that i disagree with that statement because we're seeing in our building in chicago, new york and here that that employers or most employers are bringing people back five days a week. that's not the idea of and i've always been, you know, from the beginning of, of covid, i've said that the idea of work from home is not sustainable. it was a moment in time and there was a huge transformation. since goldman sachs, apple, facebook, everybody brought employees back five days a week. finally, they understood that collaboration cannot be done in your pajamas, sitting in your kitchen on a zoom. it's just not feasible. people are meant to be together and to work together. but what are we doing here and what are we doing in our other office buildings? we're giving employers tools to lure people back to work. we got a private redwood park in the middle of san francisco, something that nobody else has, right? even in my building in new york, while i have buildings that are on fifth avenue that are overlooking the park, everything you see here is all going to be restaurants, coffee shops, uh, souvenir shops, everything you bought
11:39 pm
these two buildings too, right? i own the entire block. >> okay. what is you see as the future of office work? what kind of people are going to be in office? is it going to be tech? is it going to be artificial intelligence or or is it going to be the, the old the more financial group's hedge funds who what's the future of american offices? and in downtown cities? >> so let's talk about san francisco specific because each each city truly has its own kind of unique, um, unique aspect. i'll tell you who we're leasing space to. we're leasing space to, you know, vcs. s you know, the higher end venture capital, uh, companies that are at the top of their market right? leaders of the industry, financial, all financial companies, if it's hedge funds or private equity, um, and that that's at the pyramid in two transamerica. you're seeing more of the of the kind of late stage startups. so we're getting a variety of, of tenants. but what what's connecting everybody is there looking for the next generation of office space.
11:40 pm
they're looking for the for office space of the future, not the relics. as you said. and that's when you talk about the 30% or 40% vacancies. those happen in buildings that are just not relevant. they have a building with eight foot ceiling and small windows. there's no reason for anybody to go to work. we got the people on the street. >> you walk down the streets here, you see tents. >> what kind of i haven't seen tents down here. and i haven't seen actually the homeless here. interesting. so i, you know, i live in new york. i come here every 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the month, and i've never seen san francisco so busy as i've seen it this week when i've been visiting here. you're seeing the energy back on the street, you're seeing people back, you're seeing people back at the office. even here, because we, you know, we monitor, uh, occupancy. we're at an all time peak as far as tenants, uh, bringing people back to work. >> so you don't buy the doom loop of san francisco? >> there is no doom loop. there is no doom loop. writing off san francisco is not something i would do anytime soon because, like i said, it's an attractive city. the people are great, the food is great, it's a beautiful city, and it's been through a
11:41 pm
lot. i mean, it's been through fires, through earthquakes. it's always survived. um, and, you know, i have a i have a privilege and i have a great advantage over you. i'm not from san francisco. so i can see the beauty of san francisco because, you know, you guys are all so self critical about about every single thing. but when you come from the outside and you see the beauty of the city, you see the people, you see, you experience the food. it's a it's a marvelous place. and i have the ability and the advantage of operating in all these different markets. san francisco is one of my favorite cities in america. i've invested $1 billion here, and i can tell you that i've always been positive. and i've said to you, faith is something that you always need to have, not just when times are good, when times are tough, when things happen. you have to believe. and i'm a big believer in the city and i just i don't just talk about it. i have $1 billion invested behind my belief. >> now, the developer tells us that the newly renovated pyramid will create 7000 new jobs in san francisco and generate $2.5 billion annually in revenue for
