Market
The epicenter of the seventh largest economy in the world, Silicon Valley is home to some of the region’s most innovative and transformational companies, such as HP, Apple, Google, Intel, IBM, Facebook, Genentech, Oracle, Symantec, Adobe, Juniper Networks, Network Appliance, and Yahoo!
Our office market, consisting of over 200 million square feet, has seen increased velocity and dramatic tightening of space in suburban markets. In addition, rents have stabilized in some of the stronger submarkets such as Stanford Research Park and Mountain View, as Internet and social networking companies expand their workforces. Increasingly, tenants that have put off business decisions are now more focused on leveraging favorable market conditions, exploring options for upgrades, and locking in lower rents; For more details regarding our local market, please see the Palo Alto Tenant’s Guide.
