The old cracked one has become a badge of honour for the presenters at the tiny enclave, which was targeted by rock-throwing protesters

Its a cracker you just could not make up. ITV bosses ordered a replacement World Cup studio window for the one broken by rock-throwing protesters only for the fitters to break the new one.

The new glass was delivered by Brazilian glaziers in the aftermath of the trouble outside the studio on Rios Copacabana beach.

But it was broken almost as soon as it arrived.

It was a classic, said an insider.

They delivered it and it was a real job just to get it in place.

Then they bust it.

The old cracked one has become a badge of honour for the presenters at the tiny enclave, which straddles the main thoroughfare next to Copacabana beach.

The window was pelted by demonstrators during live coverage of the opening match of the tournament as riots gripped the city.

It stunned the ITV team, led by Adrian Chiles, and left large bullet-shaped cracks in the glass.

Demand for top-quality workspace in Phnom Penh is increasing, so much so that property firm Knight Frank has labelled the capital as the fastest-growing city for rented prime office space in the entire Asia Pacific region.

The firms June 3 quarterly report, which marks the first time Phnom Penh has been included in the study, shows that monthly prime office rent prices in the capital reached more than $27 per square metre (after services, taxes and charges) in the first quarter of this year.

The figure represents a jump of 18 per cent compared with the first quarter in 2013 the highest of the 20 nations included in the report.

Tokyo and Singapore, two of the worlds largest business centres, recorded a 6.2 per cent and a 3.6 per cent increase respectively in office space rentals.

Vacancy rates in the Phnom Penhs prime office market, meanwhile, dropped 5.5 per cent during the first quarter of 2014, according to the Knight Frank report.

Ross Wheble, the country manager at Knight Frank, said the only two prime offices in the city included in the analysis Canadia Tower and Phnom Penh Tower provide more than 40,000 square metres of rental space.

The reason for the big increase [in Phnom Penh] is that the two buildings are with occupancy rates of around 93 per cent, he said, adding that total supply of office space in Phnom Penh is currently 183,000 square metres.

So the landlords have been able to [negotiate] higher rents due to the limited supply of prime office space.

Wheble said with ASEAN integration due in 2015, more and more international companies would be scouring the Kingdoms capital for Grade-A office space.

Prime office space is graded by a number of factors, principally location, but also according to the quality of the construction and the amenities the building offers, such as parking, maintenance and office management.

An iconic San Francisco office property in the heart of the financial district is poised for a makeover as surging technology firms squeezed out of the popular South of Market area migrate to other neighborhoods.

The complex at 555 California St., once Bank of America Corp.s world headquarters and the citys biggest office building, has about 200,000 square feet (18,600 square meters) available for the first time since its 1969 opening, said Bill Cumbelich, the listing broker at CBRE Group Inc. New York-based Vornado Realty Trust (VNO) has hired an architect for a revamp of the property and is seeking more technology tenants following leases with Microsoft Corp. and Supercell Oy.

Were introducing the location to tech and entrepreneurs who never thought of working here, Cumbelich said as he showed off Clash of Clans game maker Supercells penthouse office on the 52nd floor, above where Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS), KKR & Co. (KKR) and Morgan Stanley (MS) lease space. Every building needs a tech strategy.

San Francisco, the best-performing U.S. office market, has absorbed hundreds of software, mobile-application and data-storage tenants since 2010, with many clustering in the converted warehouses and brick buildings of South of Market, or SOMA. Thats forced newer and expanding firms to go where space is more plentiful. Towers under development just outside SOMA have attracted some of the spillover, heightening the challenges for landlords with vacancies farther from the technology hub.

Citywide, technology firms led four years of record leasing that pushed San Franciscos office occupancy to an all-time high of 70 million square feet in the first quarter, according to CBRE. SOMAs 5 percent vacancy rate and 844,000 square feet of available space compared with 7.4 percent and 3.1 million square feet in the financial district, about 10 blocks to the north.

Online retailer Stitch Fix Inc. and Credit Karma Inc., a credit-tracking service, both leased space last month in Union Square, the citys marquee shopping district.

Technology demand is so fierce that medical-device maker Invuity Inc. lost out on potential office leases four times in the past two years to software and social-media firms willing to pay more or complete deals with fewer contingencies, Chief Executive Officer Philip Sawyer said. Job growth and venture funding of startups has depleted the supply of coveted workspaces with horizontal layouts, high ceilings and large, open floors, he said in a telephone interview.

Our competition was well-funded, Sawyer said. You have to move quickly because the environment is so hot.

Invuity finally found offices in Potrero Hill, south of SOMA, in a building thats also home to First Look Media Inc., a news organization backed by EBay Inc. founder Pierre Omidyar. Invuity last month leased 38,000 square feet, triple its former space in SOMA, according to Sawyer.

San Franciscos prime office rents jumped 81 percent since 2011, the biggest advance of any U.S. market and almost four times the 18 percent gain for second-place Bellevue, Washington, another technology-driven city, according to a report by brokerage Jones Lang LaSalle Inc.

The Westwood Regional Board of Education awarded a contract to replace three school roofs during its June 12 meeting.

The district will pay a total of $493,350 to Clifton & Clark, Inc., which submitted the lower of two bids received for the work.

The projects include roof replacement at Westwood Regional Middle School for $161,650, roof replacement at Brookside Elementary for $131,850 and roof replacement at George Elementary for $199,850.

The board has previously rejected three bids for the projects after Clifton & Clark submitted one which was "materially defective" and the other bidders "substantially exceed[ed] the cost estimates" according to district records.

The board also voted last month to approve a $1,497,000 contract with Integrity Roofing, Inc. for a roof replacement project at Westwood Regional Jr./Sr. High School. The district received three bids for that project.

Forty percent of the projects' costs will be covered by a Regular Operating District (ROD) grant from the state Department of Education. The remaining 60 percent will be covered by the district with money from its capital improvement fund.

The state also offered the district an ROD grant for a project to replace the high school facade. Board of Education President Roberta Hanlon said officials plan to undergo that work next summer.
