Facebook Has Leased Over 3M SF Of Bay Area Office In 2018

Facebook’s leasing momentum doesn’t appear to be slowing down this year, with another entire campus lease in the works in the San Francisco Peninsula. The tech company's leases so far this year have totaled over 3.7M SF, and it now has well over 6M SF in leased or owned property in the Bay Area.

Earlier this year, Facebook broke records by leasing the largest amount of office space in San Francisco’s history. It also is expanding its Menlo Park campus and has plans to build a mixed-use office and housing campus.

Check out Facebook’s latest large leases of the year below:

The coworking company had secured a lease for its largest-ever office space in October from LinkedIn.
