Google Continues to Expand in San Jose
Google has laid the foundation for four large, and distinct, employment centers in just one city of the South Bay Area.
"Google has bought three office buildings in north San Jose from Cisco and struck a deal to buy a fourth — an unexpected move that sets the stage for another major job hub for the search giant in the Bay Area’s largest city," reports George Avalos.
"With the latest transactions, Google now has laid the foundations, through a wave of property purchases and leasing deals, for at least four distinct — and huge — employment centers in San Jose, including a transit-oriented development called Downtown West that would dramatically reshape the city’s urban core."
