## Product types in the Valley context

- **Office** — a two-tier market: commodity space still repricing, while smaller owner-user buildings, medical office and transit-adjacent product trade below replacement cost amid AI-sector re-absorption; basis discipline is the strategy
- **R&D/flex** — the Valley's signature asset: one/two-story office-lab-production hybrids with grade doors and heavy power; tenanted by AI hardware, robotics and biotech; shrinking supply, no new construction; value driven by electrical capacity, clear height, HVAC, environmental history
- **Industrial/warehouse** — among the tightest small-bay markets in the country (Berryessa, Edenvale, Monterey Road, Alviso); contractor, food-production, machine-shop and e-commerce demand; functional beats cosmetic
- **Retail** — internet-resistant formats win: restaurants, service tenants, medical-dental, daily-needs centers on corridors like Lincoln Avenue and the Santana Row/Stevens Creek halo
- **Multifamily (5+ units)** — high-income tenant pool vs. chronic housing undersupply; underwriting must include San Jose's Apartment Rent Ordinance, AB 1482, soft-story seismic and true operating costs
- **Land & specialty** — infill parcels, outdoor storage yards and covered-land plays near Berryessa BART and North First Street
