1:14 pm
or manufacturing and now in digital health care. i love this blend. i was introduced to this when i was talked about this and she introduced the idea to put all the health data symbol clouds and allow us to astronomer health care and what a timing it would be when we're on the vertigo of implementing the care act we're trying to look at the bridge time of the digital movement to the health care movement and rock health it perfect. i'm excited to be here but also the land use decisions we made with alexander at the time, we took you took a lot of risks
1:15 pm
with us you didn't know from one mayor to another whether we would change that i want to consider willie brown and definitely credit naumd for appointing me to this position i'm the third in section so this sector got ceded we used the redevelopment monies and the tax increment money to build the infrastructure to allow the lives are buildings to go up. this is the magic how do you revitalize our old shipyard and you've got to revitalize our cities this is what we've done w in partnership with the encounter institutions we've

1:18 pm
i started rock health in 2010 and made a decision to move into an office on grant straight and chinatown. till looking for your office you have to go through the scarf shop. it was fantastically though and it's obviously a reliant and robust part of town. now your moving to mission bay. how and when did you decide to move and graph it's tattoo this neighborhood and how you wanted the space to look and feel and reinvent the physical space >> how many people have been to our chinatown office you know what an upgrade this is.
1:19 pm
it's lovely to welcome you all here. when we decided to move the office was ready for us to leave the decision was a purely economic decision we wanted to safe neighborhoods and one we could afford so we ended up in chinatown but it was time for us to expand and be in a place that recognize the vision we have. so it was really great when we met alexander and we talked about having better infrastructure and better real estate to the companies we support. it maid make sense to be in mission bay not only for the medical research but the activity from the medication side but also the technology. we've accepted away from sylmar and rock health is in the middle
1:20 pm
it was a no-brainer. being on the first floor was exciting as well as because of the great advertising and ultimately it lend the feel of having a community and we bring people here all the time. yesterday we had a group of doctors who hung out here so if anyone has a group to share our space we want to be able to welcome our groups that have the same vision. we worked with the architect to build this space out to our needs they studied our needs in chinatown the way we used the space and we can have community space here no workshops and event while entrepreneurs are working on the other side.
1:21 pm
we have break out rooms that we put together and we're able to plan this out it has been 6 months it was a thought of move. we made this space with alexandra >> what kinds of interactions do you think you'll have here. >> well-being coloring to the clinicians we'll have them right there. we see people walking bye and we wave and whatever we have events it's easier for them to get to so for any of our partners those we work with those being closer to the freeway and being able to
1:22 pm
park are around here. our partners will say it was difficult to get to the subway it's easier now. super so joel alley draw real estate equities is not only the larger real estate company across the country right but to date most of your tenants have been traditionally bio tech companies; right? with wet labs; right? so digital life is different i'm curious where do you think the digital health will fit a year from now or 15 years from now and what can alexandra do it's a bridge between digital and health >> we actually have a board vision we started in 1994 and
1:23 pm
14rbd our 2w0ub9 of 24th anniversary. so we started with a business plan and a mindset to be at the intersection of the real estate longer value but boarder this and that that's a huge industry it employes 3 and a half million people. but one of the first things we did in the bay are area we bought a set of buildings from a company that was leaving and larry came along and did google's first champions and put in a skateboard park so we had some interesting issues then we
1:24 pm
started a new venture headed by amanda who made the intro to us personally so we've invest in google in a budget share and still own part of that stock. all return is one thousand .678 times so the money we've invested equally to exceed the benchmark everyone we are in new york and cambridge and a san diego etc., he ever one of those cities is heavy being driven by technology and life science. the areas we have a huge human capital and brain function advantage over the rest of the
1:25 pm
world we expect our tenant to be more collaborative and innovative where you have engineering and chemical and engineering and biological so we see our future it heavy solar driven enterprise. haley mentioned when we met the health rock people we were blown away we've got to work and invest together it was a knoll team so that's how we think about things >> so you can see users working with the rock health folks. >> super we could go on for hours it's an existing event but we're going to move on to the
