[Published January 2012 and last updated October 2026] Sport-focused media company Pac-12 Enterprises has lined up 70,000 square feet of office space in San Francisco to become its new headquarters.
The company handles all broadcast licensing and event planning for the Pacific 12 athletic conference on the US West Coast, and its bosses have been looking for a new operational hub.
The company has now signed an 11-year lease for offices in the South of Market (SoMa) district, renowned as one of California’s leading hotbeds for technology-related business development.
“We love the vibrancy of San Francisco and believe it will be very conducive to the environment we envision,” said Pac 12 Enterprise’s president, Gary Stevenson. “As we determine how we will distribute our content, it is exciting to know we are very close to the most innovative and forward-thinking companies. We are in the ideal location. It’s very exciting.”
Pac 12’s leasehold deal was struck with Kilroy Realty, the owner of the office building at 370 Third Street and one of the largest office owners on the American West Coast.
Pac-12’s business has several intersecting elements, with digital networks and broadcasting at its core, but large-scale administrative work is needed to protect the intellectual property rights of its sporting events.
San Francisco Mayor Edwin M. Lee was among those who welcomed the company to its new headquarters. He said: “Pac-12 Enterprises will not only have access to the best and brightest creative talent for their staff here, but they will also tap into the city’s innovative culture and entrepreneurial spirit.”
Kilroy Realty boasts around 11.6 million square feet of rentable commercial property at dozens of sites in Los Angeles, San Diego and the greater Seattle area.
Editor’s notes: As of June 2024, Pac-12 Enterprises no longer had offices in San Francisco. When its lease expired in June 2023, the San Francisco office-based staff moved to a remote working model. It was reportedly paying $6.9 million in rent annually.
As of June 2024, Kilroy Realty Corporation had operations in San Diego, Greater Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area, the Pacific Northwest and Austin, Texas. The company’s stabilised portfolio totalled approximately 16.2 million square feet, primarily office and life science space, and it also has more than 1,000 residential units in Hollywood and San Diego.
Research conducted in October 2026 found that in September 2024, Pac-12 reported moving to a new state-of-the-art production facility in nearby San Ramon, CA, and that the company was still based there.
