Google Expanding its Presence in San Jose

"Google has quietly assembled what would be one of the largest office campuses in the Bay Area with a fresh purchase of several office buildings in north San Jose near the Alviso community," reports George Avalos.

"With its latest acquisition in the northernmost section of San Jose, Google now controls eight big buildings and has cobbled together a vast campus where several thousand of the search giant’s employees could work."

The city is also planning to add additional industrial and commercial development capacity in other parts of North San Jose to take advantage of the strong tech economy of the Silicon Valley.
