In this episode of the NAIOP SFBA Podcast, host Drew Hess, Principal at Layline, speaks with Matt Field, Vice Chairman at TMG Partners, in a wide-ranging conversation about leadership, strategy, and creating value in today’s complex real estate landscape.
With over three decades of experience shaping the San Francisco Bay Area skyline, Matt shares lessons from transformative projects like 680 Folsom, PG&E’s Oakland HQ, and Landmark at One Market. He discusses the role of thoughtful deal structure, why asking *“why” not “what” leads to better outcomes, and how transparency and alignment are keys to lasting partnerships.
We also dive into:
-
What AI and changing demand mean for the future of San Francisco real estate
-
The importance of mentorship and cracking doors open for the next generation
-
How to find your “superpower” and operate in flow
-
Why you should never bet against San Francisco
Plus, Matt reflects on his personal journey—from early lessons at Catellus and Sedway Consulting to following the Grateful Dead on tour—and the people and moments that shaped his approach to life and business.
