Rakuten Takes Full Floor at Paramount Group’s 300 Mission St.

JLL arranged a lease for Rakuten International, a division of Rakuten Group, Inc., to relocate from its offices of nine years into a full floor of 29,000 square feet at Paramount Group’s 300 Mission St. in San Francisco. The move reportedly is a sublease from Glassdoor.

“As our lease was running out and we considered our options, we realized that the heart of our business and its attraction to a new generation of technology workers was directly connected to maintaining a presence in one of the world’s most exciting, beautiful and tech-forward cities,” said Amit Patel, CEO at Rakuten International.

He continued, “Our former location’s 24,000 square feet were spread across two small floors with outdated layouts that were increasingly at odds with collaborating effectively. 300 Mission by contrast offers amenitized space on a single floor that will create plentiful opportunities for people to gather and work together.”

Brittan Hawken of JLL represented Rakuten in the transaction.
