SAN JOSE, CA-As GlobeSt.com reported, Equity Office has signed a long-term lease with InvenSense Inc. for 130,000 square feet at its 1745 Technology Dr. property here in San Jose. Tenant brokers include Jim McPhee and John Fennell of Cushman & Wakefield while landlord brokers include Rob Shannon, Christian Marent and Bob Steinbock of CBRE.
Although C&W didn't return GlobeSt.com queries for comment, CBRE's Shannon tells GlobeSt.com that after initial conversations with the Invensense team, “it was apparent that they were a very good fit for the building and about to experience explosive growth.”
He adds that “Coupled with the strong activity for 80,000-square-foot to 100,000-square-foot requirements in the market, it made the decision to divide the building for two tenants easy.”
He explains that “With the top three floors now available, coupled with building top signage opportunity facing Mineta International Airport, we are already seeing strong tenant interest.”
Todd Hedrick, SVP of leasing with Equity Office, points out that “”
We are very pleased to have InvenSense as our newest client in our San Jose Airport portfolio. 1745 Technology Dr. represented an opportunity for InvenSense to get a 'best in class' building with significant image at a discount to the new development pricing in Santa Clara and Sunnyvale.”
He adds that “We are confident that companies will continue to see opportunity in the San Jose market as pricing tightens to the north.”
InvenSense's lease will begin on August 1, 2013 and include floors one through five of the 228,000-square-foot class A building. InvenSense was founded in 2003 and is currently headquartered in Sunnyvale, CA, with offices in Taiwan, Japan, Korea, China and Dubai. The 1745 Technology building will serve as the company's new corporate headquarters.
