Notable quote:

"There are several examples of success stories using SFprospector for attracting and retaining businesses.  In one case, a San Francisco-based business was looking to expand and was being pressured to move out of the city because no location could accommodate their needs.  We used SFprospector in a meeting with the CEO and their real estate advisor to demonstrate there were numerous spaces which could accommodate their expansion.  SFprospector opened up the CEO’s thinking about new neighborhoods that he could locate his facility.  He ultimately decided to grow his business in San Francisco."
