Located at 3930, 3940, 3950 and 4000 N. First St., as well as 90 Headquarters Way, the property is less than 4 miles from Interstate 880, within walking distance of several public transit options and some 3 miles from Oracle’s Santa Clara, Calif., campus. The sellers initially purchased the asset in 2016 and began the redevelopment of the four buildings in 2018. Originally completed between the 1980s and the 1990s, the buildings served as the headquarters of Novellus.

Remarkable Renovations

Redevelopment plans featured two phases, with Gensler serving as the project architect. The first encompassed the renovations of the four initial buildings and combining two of the buildings into a single 100,000-square-foot structure. Additionally, interiors and exteriors were modernized and Assembly at North First was awarded LEED Gold certification. The second phase had not begun at the time of sale.

In 2019, Google began negotiations with the partnership to lease most of the space at the 27-acre campus, but the plan fell through and the tech giant purchased other office buildings in the area. Additionally, Google has major plans for downtown San Jose in the form of a mixed-used project, which will include some 7.3 million square feet of space.
