Harvest Properties & Invesco Real Estate Acquire Premier Silicon Valley Development Site
±540,000 New State of the Art Sunnyvale Class “A” Office Campus to
Break Ground Immediately
OAKLAND, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–A joint venture between Harvest Properties, a full service commercial
real estate investment, development and management firm (“Harvest”), and
its longtime partner Invesco Real Estate, a global real estate
investment manager (“Invesco”), has acquired a three-building class “A”
office development site in the heart of Sunnyvale, one of Silicon
Valley’s most active submarkets. This acquisition marks the eighth joint
venture that Harvest and Invesco have completed together.
The fully entitled, shovel-ready development is located in Sunnyvale’s
desirable Peery Park, just minutes from Downtown Sunnyvale, less than
one mile to Caltrain and with convenient freeway access to both Highways
101 and 237. The project totals approximately 540,000 square feet across
three buildings and can be delivered in phases, allowing a tenant the
unique opportunity to synchronize their growth plans with the
commencement of occupancy. The partnership intends to break ground
immediately and it anticipates it will deliver the first building,
located at 684 W. Maude Avenue and containing approximately 190,000
square feet, in the third quarter of 2020.
“This development represents an incredible headquarter campus
opportunity that will exceed the demands of today’s corporate users,”
said Preston O’Connell, partner at Harvest Properties. Blair Volckmann,
partner at Harvest Properties, added, “We will deliver a project that is
best-in-class new construction with prominent identity, flexible
scalability, and proximity to both an array of amenities and major
public and private transportation hubs.”
“The project sits at the epicenter of Silicon Valley’s business
community and will allow a future tenant access to the world’s best
technology and innovation labor force. This is the very reason that its
corporate neighbors include LinkedIn, Apple, Walmart.com, Microsoft,
Nokia, Riverbed, Alibaba.com, Proofpoint, Synopsys, Twitter, and 23&Me,”
said Invesco’s Director of Acquisitions, Rohullah Sharifi.
