Boris Mizhen Attended the ‘San Francisco State of the Market’ Forum

For professionals such as Mizhen, the conference offered an opportunity to explore the factors driving one of the nation’s most dynamic real estate markets, gain valuable industry insights, and exchange perspectives with fellow leaders.

New York, NY, United States, October 28, 2026 -- San Francisco has emerged as a prominent center for technology startups, billion-dollar “unicorn” companies, and commercial real estate investment, making it an ideal location for this year’s San Francisco State of the Market conference. As ongoing development continues to reshape the city’s skyline and waterfront, the event brought together industry professionals to discuss the evolving real estate landscape. New York-based real estate developer and online marketing entrepreneur Boris Mizhen attended the conference, hosted by Bisnow, a leading commercial real estate news and events organization. The program began with a keynote address by John Kilroy, Chairman, President, and CEO of Kilroy Realty Corporation, and featured discussions among developers, investors, engineers, and business and civic leaders on the major trends and challenges affecting the market. Key topics included sustainable building practices, environmentally responsible development, the continued growth of the technology industry, and escalating housing costs. For professionals such as Mizhen, the conference offered an opportunity to explore the factors driving one of the nation’s most dynamic real estate markets, gain valuable industry insights, and exchange perspectives with fellow leaders.

The focus of this year’s ‘San Francisco State of the Market’ conference was on the biggest real estate trend in the city for the year - tech demand. In the previous year, at least 14 different companies signed leases, each at over 9,000 square feet, for research and creative office space; 60% of those leases were dedicated to businesses working on technology developments. San Francisco's real estate professionals discussed the most pressing question of whether the market can sustain such rapid growth. Many experts are concerned that the commercial real estate bubble will burst, and while Boris Mizhen agrees that the high prices and fast growth will be difficult to sustain, he is optimistic about the year ahead. The top minds who are actively working on plans for growth spoke at 'San Francisco State of the Market', including the city's Planning Director, John Rahaim, and real estate business experts Ken Perry and Jack Sylvan, the CEO of the Swig Company and VP of Development at Forest City, respectively. The meeting agenda included talks on the City's Perspective and the Future of Office and Development. 

Another important discussion at the conference was the emphasis on future sustainable construction. Boris Mizhen has made careful planning and property improvement a cornerstone of his work as a real estate developer and manager, and was in attendance while executives discussed upcoming plans for further construction. San Francisco, long known for progressive thinking and leadership, will see a lot of work in this area in 2016, as the city’s developers and managers look for creative ways to boost the industry within a viable and environmentally friendly framework. Experts in sustainable engineering, including Nik Lahiri, President of Essel Environmental Engineering and Consulting, and Christian Agulles, Principal of PAE Consulting Engineers, spoke on the possibilities that lie ahead for the city. After the talk on Construction and Design, the meeting concluded with a late morning networking session. Today, Bisnow’s Bay Area trade show remains an event charged with excitement and optimism and has heralded a vibrant year for the commercial real estate market in San Francisco.
