Personally, I think Microsoft or Amazon (mentioned as possibilities in the article) are good guesses. I can't think of many other tech companies large enough to want space for 8-10k employees that don't already have headquarters in the Bay Area. Maybe Salesforce has decided to move out of San Francisco?
Or maybe someone else on one of these lists?
