For our ~200 person company, remote has been more expensive than an office in the financial district, sf, fwiw. Cost of travel for team get togethers/offsites for a distributed team is expensive.

Is it more expensive than keeping an office for entire year, though?

This doesn't seem like you're remote at all

How much more expensive would salaries have to be to convince those same 200 people to work in SFO?

Ironically enough, I was just at a team meeting in the SFO financial district. They would have to pay me at least $100K more for me to even consider moving to San Francisco - and that’s only because my kids are grown and we could give up our nice big house in the burbs in a much lower cost area.
