Craft brewing started in 1965 with the turn- Chinatown east of downtown Houston in today’s EaDo around of Anchor Brewing Company in San Francisco, (East Downtown) district.

  • SAN FRANCISCO MARKET UPDATE- RECOVERING from RECENT ECONOMIC RECESSION Jaime Law Assistant Vice President, HVS San Francisco Consulting & Valuation
    JANUARY 2011 SAN FRANCISCO MARKET UPDATE- RECOVERING FROM RECENT ECONOMIC RECESSION Jaime Law Assistant Vice President, HVS San Francisco Consulting & Valuation www.hvs.com HVS Consulting & Valuation 100 Bush Street, Suite 750, San Francisco, CA 94104 USA Ranked as one of the most favored cities to visit by readers of the Condé Nast Traveler and Travel +Leisure magazines, San Francisco is a thriving economic center on the West Coast and features a cross-section of demand potential. Nevertheless, the San Francisco hotel market wasn’t immune to the recent economic downturn, and some areas such as housing and employment remain challenged. In the employment sector, San Francisco’s November 2010 unemployment figures stood at 9.6%, essentially unchanged from a year ago but still lower than those of California’s other major cities. The residential real estate pricing has been inconsistent as there were signs of improvement for several months, but then the average price of homes retreated in September 2010 as unemployment and the end of tax incentives curbed purchases. On the other hand, the apartment market improved steadily in 2010, with average rental rates increasing 16% since the start of the year—albeit still below the peak in September 2008. San Francisco’s bright spot is domestic and international travel, which continues to strengthen, showing healthy year-over-year increases. Retail traffic, measured by parking garage use and Saturday Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) visitors to Powell Street, shows year-over-year improvements; retail sales rose in December 2010 for the sixth straight month, aided by the weakened U.S.
