In less than a decade, the tech industry doubled its real estate footprint in the Bay Area, growing to 200 million square feet of office and research and development space, according to a report from brokerage firm CBRE. That means the industry occupies 42 percent of the region’s total office and R&D space.
The Bay Area is home to close to 4,600 tech companies, ranging from tiny startups to global giants such as Apple Inc., Google, Facebook, Amazon.com and LinkedIn that continue growing.
