EMERYVILLE, CA – KBS, one of the largest investors in commercial real estate, has signed 40,504 square feet in leases with two tenants at The Towers Emeryville, an 816,090 square-foot, Class A office park in Emeryville, California.

Diana Rivers, Associate Director at Cushman & Wakefield is handling property management services for The Towers Emeryville on behalf of KBS.

“They simply can’t find all of these benefits in downtown San Francisco for the price.”

The Towers Emeryville is owned by KBS Real Estate investment Trust III.

 The transactions include a new 20,252 square-foot leasewith LeapFrog Enterprises, Inc., a global educational entertainment and electronics company, and a 20,252 square-foot lease extension and expansion with Centre for Neuro Skills (CNS), a premier provider of brain injury rehabilitation services with seven locations across California and Texas.

 The recent lease transactions are a reflection of the quality and unique waterfront location of the buildings, situated just outside of San Francisco in the East Bay, according to Giovanni (Gio) Cordoves, Western regional president for KBS.

 “KBS takes a hands-on approach to its properties and prides itself on exceeding the expectation of office users,” says Cordoves.

“Our ability to attract new tenants while at the same time have existing tenants renew and expand within our space speaks to our strength as an operator in addition to the quality of this location and offerings the buildings provide to tenants, their employees and visitors.”

 LeapFrog Enterprises is relocating their headquarters to The Towers Emeryville from another location in Emeryville, occupying the full 5th floor as of early June. 

“With a portfolio of more than $7.7 billion in assets under management nationwide, we understand what tenants’ want in their office space and work diligently to deliver that across our portfolio,” says Brent Carroll, senior vice president for KBS and asset manager for The Towers Emeryville. 

Carroll adds that the Centre for Neuro Skills renewed its lease two years ago, however, based on its rapid growth the firm is renewing its lease early and expanding to accommodate this continued growth.
