BAYVIEW? With the sunniest climate in San Francisco, ample parking, and least expensive leases, Bayview is host to a myriad of thriving businesses. Since 2011, BRITE (Bayview Residents Improving Their Environment) has been shining a light on what makes our neighborhood an extremely attractive destination for business owners and their clients.

What BRITE is doing bringing all these art commission people, all these journalists and all these people who want to change things around is wonderful.” — Shuai Chen, Executive Director, SCRAP REBECCA JEAN CATERING “The ability to take public transportation here for my staff has been huge. BRITE has really been educational for me not just in helping to support my business and my business’s growth in the Bayview but also educating me and my staff on cool opportunities that exist right here.” — Rebecca Alonzi, Owner, Rebecca Jean Catering PET CAMP “In Bayview, you can find space, take a risk, and build a business slowly but surely. And it’s collegial—our business community looks out for each other.” — Mark Klaiman, Owner, Pet Camp SPEAKEASY TAPROOM “For space, traffic flow, and parking, Bayview was the obvious choice for our business. I want to thank BRITE for bringing through all the folks and helping with the awareness of our company and with our presence in the Bayview.” — Forest Gray, Owner, Speakeasy Ales and Lagers PUBLIC GLASS “What’s unique abou t us is that we have the equipment, the facilities and the particular expertise that appeals to students and artists from all over the Bay Area.
