Transamerica Pyramid Center Scores Leasing Success Under New Ownership

YODA PLC announced the completion of more than 113,000 square feet of new leasing activity at Transamerica Pyramid Center. The seven transactions have been completed since the beginning of 2026, including five since YODA acquired the redeveloped property in March from a SHVO-led ownership group.

“The leasing activity at Transamerica Pyramid Center reflects the enduring strength of this asset amid the ongoing flight-to-quality for premium-seeking tenants,” said Chris Roeder, vice chairman at JLL San Francisco. “We’re consistently hearing from AI and growth-oriented companies that speed-to-occupancy is a top priority.”

Building on the recent leasing successes at Transamerica Pyramid Center, YODA will introduce a new collection of spec suites in the fourth quarter of 2026 along with premium tenant amenities at Two Transamerica. Designed to meet growing demand for high-quality, turnkey office space, the suites will provide tenants with immediate occupancy opportunities within a highly amenitized environment, according to JLL.
