John C. Harris, California horse breeder and owner of Harris Farms, dies at 81
John C. Harris, California horse-racing mogul, had a particular love for the thoroughbred breeding and racing sector of his company, Harris Farms. Multiple horses that were raised and trained at Coalinga-based Harris Farms went on to become national champions, including Tiznow, the 2000 Horse of the Year, and California Chrome, a national Hall of Fame racehorse. A close friend recounted Harris' reaction to the latter thoroughbred winning the 2014 Kentucky Derby. The moment California Chrome sprinted over the finish line, tears streamed down Harris' face. 'It was just knowing that his farm had such a major role,' said his good friend Doug Burge. 'It was probably the most fun we ever had.' Harris, who owned the multimillion-dollar agribusiness Harris Farms, has died. He was 81. Those who knew Harris described him as an acclaimed rancher, farmer and horse-racing enthusiast who devoted himself to his passions to the end. Harris Farms confirmed his death in a statement shared on July 3. No details, including cause of death, were provided. Harris was born on July 14, 1943, and resided in Fresno County all of his life. He earned a degree in agricultural production at UC Davis before serving in the U.S. Army for two years. Harris took ownership of Harris Farms following his father's death in 1981. He oversaw all operations of the ranch, which encompasses a thriving farm that produces more than 30 types of crops including garlic, pistachios and wine grapes, as well as the horse-breeding operation, according to its website. Harris Farms was known for the beef it produced, but the cattle-raising portion of the business was sold in 2019. Harris nurtured a steadfast passion for horse racing and the thoroughbred breeding industry in Northern California, according to friends and family. He was a former president and board member of the California Thoroughbred Breeders Assn. and served on the board of the Thoroughbred Owners of California and the National Jockey Club. According to those who worked with him, he shaped the horse-racing industry into what it is today. 'He had a love for the land, everything from farming to raising horses,' said Burge, the current president of the CTBA, who knew Harris as a mentor and friend for more than 30 years. Harris was a longtime, dedicated advocate for the agricultural industry, according to Oscar Gonzalez, the vice chairman of the California Horse Racing Board who previously served as assistant secretary of Agriculture during the Biden administration. 'Mr. Harris was just a phone call away,' he said. 'When I was in Washington, D.C. ... and I needed a point of reference or background information on an issue involving agriculture, or water or immigration, he was always somebody that had context in that background.' One of Harris' last advocacy efforts was just a couple of weeks ago, when he fought to reinstate live horse racing at the Big Fresno Fair, a proposal that was ultimately unsuccessful. 'We will never give up continuing this storied tradition of Fresno racing. Today's story is not the end — we will come back again next year,' Harris said, according to the Business Journal. Justin Oldfield, a thoroughbred breeder and a chairman of the CTBA, said that Harris wanted everyone in the industry to be successful, always offering mentorship and help to those who needed it. 'For as successful as a businessman as he was, you would have never have known it from the way he treated you,' Oldfield said. 'John was an extremely humble, down-to-earth individual that treated everyone with respect, treated everyone like they had value.' He said that he once went to a horse racing industry event honoring Harris with more than 3,000 attendees. 'I can't even imagine how many people are gonna be at his funeral,' Oldfield said. Harris is survived by his wife, Cookie, and others 'whose lives were enriched by his strength of character and enduring compassion,' the statement from Harris Farms said.

Another growing AI startup makes a big move in downtown S.F.
On the heels of securing a fresh funding infusion last month, San Francisco-based artificial intelligence startup Harvey AI is now upgrading its downtown office. The company, which provides AI solutions for attorneys, is on the verge of a deal with Los Angeles-based Kilroy Realty Corp., which is one of the Bay Area's more prominent commercial landlords. It's unclear whether the parties have signed, though real estate insiders told the Chronicle that a deal involving Harvey leasing 92,000-square-feet of office space at 201 3rd St. was imminent. Kilroy declined to comment on the deal when contacted by the Chronicle. But, a spokesperson for Harvey, who also declined to share specifics, confirmed that the company will be moving to the new Third Street location 'later this fall.' It's been a tough five years for Kilroy and other commercial landlords in San Francisco since the start of the pandemic, but the city's office market is now showing signs of a very slow recovery period — largely thanks to demand for new offices from AI startups. Harvey is currently based in a smaller, 30,000-square-foot office at 575 Market St., and had been perusing the market for a larger space for some time — it came close to signing a deal at 525 Market St. several months ago, the Chronicle learned. It's unclear why that deal did not materialize. The company's lease with Kilroy takes the growing startup away from Market Street, placing it across the street from the city's Moscone Convention Center and near the Museum of Modern Art in the Yerba Buena neighborhood. 'We've hired a new CTO in Siva Gurumurthy and a new Chief Business Officer in John Haddock and both of them have plans to hire talented individuals to join their team this year,' the company's spokesperson said in an email to the Chronicle on Tuesday. 'While we don't share lease details or specific hiring targets, the move will support both our San Francisco growth goals and our objective of building a great connected culture across our teams and a space where we can host Harvey customers.' Gurumurthy served as the head of engineering for Twitter, now known as X Corp., for six years prior to the pandemic. Haddock is a recent veteran of fintech Stripe. Last month, the three-year-old company announced that it raised $300 million at a $5 billion valuation in a Series E fundraising round — its backers include Kleiner Perkins, Coatue, Sequoia Capital and OpenAI. Named after the sharp-witted lead character in legal drama 'Suits,' Harvey was founded in 2022 by former antitrust litigator Winston Weinberg and Gabriel Pereyra, a former research scientist for Google DeepMind and machine learning engineer at Meta. The deal with Kilroy comes as a boost to the developer's 12-story Third Street building — and larger portfolio in San Francisco, which hasn't seen a deal of that size in years, according to the company's executives. Kilroy CEO Angela Aman said during an earnings call in May that a 57,000-square-foot lease renewal by data analytics company Amplitude, that was completed at that time, represented Kilroy's largest deal in the city since 2019. According to Kilroy's most recent quarterly financial report, just over 11% of its occupied space, or 1.9 million square feet, was available for sublease as of March 31, and a majority of those subleases were concentrated in the Bay Area. Overall vacancy in San Francisco's office market has been hovering at over 30% for several years now, but late last year began to dip for the first time since 2020, a positive trend that continued last quarter. San Francisco real estate firm CBRE has forecast that the city is on track to have its best leasing year since 2019, when 12.6 million square feet of office space was leased. Alexander Quinn, senior director of research for real estate firm JLL, said in a post to social media on Tuesday that the amount of space leased by AI companies in the Bay Area grew from 4.8 million square feet to 10.8 million square feet over the last two-and-a-half years.

FRAMA's Ratio Storage Series Is Imbued With Architectural Balance
With the Ratio Series, Copenhagen-based design purveyorFRAMAhas unveiled the latest addition to its evolving portfolio of furniture and home goods lines. Characterized by the label's Scandinavian minimalism and appreciation of natural materiality, the four pieces were conceived with the designers of ilo to achieve a balance of 'proportion, stain, measurement and weight.' As shown in FRAMA's campaign, the pieces are designed with a timeless aesthetic — a harmonious dynamic that doesn't overpower the existing space. In consistent form, the Ratio Chest and Console offer closed horizontal storage with drawers — providing a clean surface to highlight the Birch grain. Elsewhere, the compact Side Table and open Trolley incorporate the theme of precise construction into accessory solutions. Ana Magalhães Ilharco and Matilde Cortez de Lobão ofilocrafted the Ratio series with a geometric rhythm inspired by architectural standards. The designers' precise tuning of each design element gives the new collection a familiar quality, echoing the stark wooden forms of furniture from the early 20th century — a period of transition between the era of craftsmen and mass production facilities. The reference to architectural practice reflects the studio's research-focused approach, often pulling from varied realms, from traditional Japanese interiors to European Modernism. These sensibilities align with the style of FRAMA's other lines, including the Symmetry series and the Rivet Series. See the gallery above for a closer look at the Ratio Series and shop the collection now onFRAMAand at select stockists.
