SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
The City has floated a concept to
raise the heights of buildings in the Downtown Core. The idea would be to raise height limits on several blocks south of Market
Street to allow two towers as tall as the 853-foot Transamerica building and a
third that would climb at least an additional 150 feet -- to more than 1,000
feet tall. >>MORE
Computer renderings show how changes proposed for the Transbay Terminal
area might alter the skyline. The red images are towers higher than 850 feet.
The blue ones are towers now allowed.

Silicon Valley High-Tech Rents Tumble
Rent in Silicon Valley for high-tech commercial real estate fell almost 30
percent in 2002, extending a slide that began a year earlier, according to a
study released on Thursday.
Annual rent for high-tech work space in Silicon Valley averaged $15.24 per square foot in the fourth quarter, down 29
percent from $21.48 per square foot in the first quarter, according to commercial real estate services company Cushman and Wakefield.
Average annual rents in the region had been as high as $50.88 per square foot in the first quarter of 2001.
Silicon Valley, home to scores of big and small technology companies, has been hammered by the high-tech industry's
downturn, sending local commercial rents tumbling as companies consolidated facilities while slashing payrolls.
Silicon Valley had about 30.15 million
square feet of commercial space suited for high-tech companies available for
rent in the fourth quarter of 2002, up 37 percent from 21.96 million square
feet of such vacant space in the first quarter of last year.
The region's vacant high-tech real estate was a low 3.1 million square feet in the third quarter of 2000 when Silicon
Valley's local economy was booming.
The unemployment rate in Santa Clara
County, the region's heart, was 7.8 percent in November, down from 8.1 percent
in the prior month but up substantially from 1.3 percent in December 2000 amid
the dot-com boom and torrid business investment in tech goods and services of
all kinds. - Reuters
