Twitter Signs New Lease in Downtown Oakland, Proves the Office Is not Dead

Twitter has signed a new office lease in downtown Oakland; the tech company will take up 66,000 square feet across four floors. The offices are slated to open in late 2022 and they are a clear indicator that despite remote work policies, the office is still very much alive. 

According to Twitter, the new offices will be designed to support hybrid work and will provide employees with areas for focus work and collaboration. 

The new lease marks Twitter’s third office location in the Bay Area. Speaking about the news, Tracy Hawkins, Twitter vice president of real estate, workplace and remote experience, said:

“Twitter was born in San Francisco and we’ll always have a home here. We’re continuing to look at ways to support a more distributed workforce and better meet our employees and talent where they are and where they want to be.”
