New York City is now the top tech talent market for the first time in CBRE’s 13-year analysis. NYC has 394,300 tech jobs, ahead of the Bay Area’s 375,730. Bay Area job cuts and tech hiring by New York finance firms drove the shift. San Francisco still leads in AI talent.

$CBRE has agreed to buy Onnec for $610M upfront, with another $400M tied to growth targets. Onnec installs and maintains network and fiber infrastructure for hyperscalers. CBRE expects roughly $498M in revenue and more than $67M in core EBITDA from the business in 2027. I like seeing what companies are actually willing to pay for exposure to the buildout. Here, the money is going into the installation and maintenance work around the hardware. It’s also why I keep paying attention to service within $VRT.
