\"\"The economy is very slowly emerging from the Great Recession and unemployment in California remains high. So one would think there would be a lot of people looking for work. But if you’re like me, you know it can be really hard to find truly qualified employees who will work for salaries that fit within your budget range.<\/p>\n

One of the causes of this is the high cost of living in the Bay Area. That includes our fast-rising transportation expenses.<\/p>\n

What does gas cost these days? Close to $4 a gallon – right? And how about cars? Good used cars have become much more expensive because so many people can’t afford to buy new anymore. Add in ever-increasing insurance costs, and many potential employees simply have to find other ways to get to work.<\/p>\n

\"\"What can you do about this? One solution is to make sure you locate your business so it’s convenient to public transportation. And no office complex is more convenient to public transit than Fremont Business Park at Christy Street<\/a> – which has an AC Transit stop for Bus 212 right at the corner of Albrae and Christy Street – in other words, just outside your front door.<\/p>\n

On Track to the Best Employees<\/strong>
\nWhere does AC Transit Bus 212<\/a> stop? One of the places is the Stevenson BART station, approximately 30 minutes away. This BART connection means you can easily draw employees from as far away as Berkeley or Richmond; Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill or Concord; Castro Valley, Pleasanton or Dublin; or even San Francisco or Daly City.<\/p>\n

That’s an enormously broad and deep labor pool, and that means you have a much better chance of finding the skilled, highly motivated employees you need at salaries that won’t break the bank.<\/p>\n

Smart Way to Check Schedules<\/strong>
\n\"\"Your employees will also love the fact that they can check bus schedules on their PC or smart phone, so they won’t waste a lot of time standing around at the bus stop. All they have to do is click the bus tracker<\/a> to know precisely when the 212 Bus will arrive. The tracker link is also on the Fremont Business Park web site.<\/p>\n

Other Christy Street Location Benefits<\/strong>
\n\"\"For those employees who do drive to work and live in Fremont or other nearby East Bay communities, Fremont Business Park is located right off I-880 at the Auto Mall Parkway exit. Shopping, dining and entertainment is within easy walking distance at the Pacific Commons<\/a> shopping mall one block away. And employees will find a variety of dealerships to service their cars at the Fremont Auto Mall<\/a> within minutes of your offices.<\/p>\n

Now that you know how well-located Fremont Business Park is, take a few moments to come see this newly renovated complex. A sweeping $2.5 million upgrade has really made it an attractive, comfortable place to do business. For a tour, e-mail Lee Jatta, or call (408) 520-2437. Hurry! Only a limited number of office suites remain available. DRE License #01828564<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
