Dropbox headquarters selling for $1.08B in S.F. s second-largest sale ever By Roland Li
The Mission Bay headquarters complex leased by Dropbox is being sold for $1.08 billion, the second-highest price in San Francisco history for a single property.
Owner Kilroy Realty said Monday it has agreed to sell the 750,000-square-foot property for around $1,440 per square foot, the highest price per square foot in city history. The four-building complex at 1800 Owens St. is branded as the Exchange.
The deal would eclipse all previous transactions aside from Boston Properties’ $1.2 billion purchase in 1998 of Embarcadero Center, which is about four times the size of the Exchange. It is expected to close at the end of this month.

Robert Andersen Reflects on an Unforgettable Encounter

A favonian October afternoon in the San Francisco of 2005 finds you in North Beach, on Columbus Avenue, sitting in the empty bar at Rose Pistola, way over in the corner, nursing a glass of red and polishing a manuscript titled
A San Francisco Writer. You wrote the piece to take stock of a stalled writing career, to announce the return of the native son, the deracinated native son missing Maine and not at all certain that the Noe Valley sojourn is a wise move. Too many memories growing up there. Trespassing on your youth.
The New York Times staff cafeteria doesn’t offer much in the way of ambiance for a first date. And Nellie Bowles wasn’t even clear her 2018 meetup over office coffee and a cup of Goldfish crackers
was a date before she sat down with Bari Weiss, the prominent, politically moderate, Israel-defending opinion writer who’d become a lightning rod over the range of permissible views in the Times.
“She’d messaged me about what I, at the time, thought was some nonsense fake news about conservatives being deplatformed on social media,” said Bowles, a writer and Bay Area native who made a name for herself with sharply observed articles covering Silicon Valley. “My thinking was, I’d set her politics on a better course. But I ended up falling in love the second I saw her, and tech news became the last thing on my mind.”
