AI Company Notion Leases 100K SF in Downtown San Francisco

AI-powered productivity app Notion leased approximately 105,000 square feet at Brookfield Properties’ 685 Market St. in downtown San Francisco, reported the San Francisco Business Times. It’s one of a handful of six-digit office leases signed in the city during 2024.

It’s not clear how many of Notion’s 700 employees are currently based in San Francisco, the Business Times reported. The company, founded in 2013, currently maintains a 65,000-square-foot headquarters at 2300 Harrison St. in the Mission District, a building that formerly housed Lyft. Notion’s lease there expires next year.

The newly signed direct lease at 685 Market St. backfills much of the space formerly occupied by Uber. 2024 has also seen big leases by OpenAI (315,000 square feet at 550 Terry A. Francois Blvd.), Scale AI (a 180,000-square-foot sublease at 650 Townsend St.), Rippling (123,000 square feet at 430 California St.) and Adyen (a 150,000-square-foot sublease at 505 Brannan St.).
