This improvement has been driven by a strong convention calendar, major employers implementing return-to-office mandates, and modest growth in tourism levels.

Salesforce, the city’s largest private employer, implemented a full return-to-office policy in January 2025. Gap, Inc. has been phasing in a return to office, increasing from two days a week in January to five days a week by the end of September 2025.
