MID-POINT
TECHNOLOGY CENTER

Redwood City, CA
1,000,000 Sq. Ft. Office/R&D

Challenge:
To redevelop a 1960's era former Ampex manufacturing, assembly, and research campus into a Class Atechnology center.

Vision:
To renovate outmoded buildings, installing new site improvements and obtaining entitlements to construct 500,000 additional square feet of new offices in a state-of-the art technology campus. We viewed the site's perceived weakness — its location between San Francisco and Silicon Valley — as an asset with potential.

Results:
One million square feet of cutting-edge technology offices developed and leased within 24 months of acquiring the site. Obsolete buildings were demolished, retrofitted and installed with modern systems while obtaining entitlements to develop 500,000 square feet of new office space. The project has won several awards.
