Sunnyvale, CA, May 25, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Jay Paul Company announced today that Microsoft Corporation executed a long-term lease agreement to lease 237,000 square feet (sf) of office space at Moffett Towers in Sunnyvale, California. Developed by San Francisco-based Jay Paul Company, the LEED Gold, 1.8 million square foot office/R&D campus offers an amenity-rich environment in the heart of Silicon Valley. Cornish & Carey Commercial Newmark Knight Frank Executive Vice President Phil Mahoney represents Jay Paul Company’s Moffett Towers property in all leasing engagements.

Microsoft, the worldwide leader in software, services and solutions, plans to occupy 1020 Enterprise Way in January of 2012. The company will be relocating and expanding several business units currently based in Palo Alto and Mountain View to its new Moffett Towers facility.

“Microsoft’s lease is another significant endorsement from a market leader of the unparalleled Moffett Towers office park experience,” said Mahoney. “Recent leasing activity at Moffett Towers alone has dropped the city of Sunnyvale’s office vacancy rate nearly 10 percentage points. This state-of-the-art campus is changing the landscape of this real estate market.”

In April of 2011 HP leased 393,776 sf and in March of 2011 Motorola Mobility leased 236,444 sf at Moffett Towers. Rambus and Comcast also occupy space in the campus.

Remaining space available for lease at Moffett Towers includes 225,000 sf at 1120 Enterprise Way and 150,000 sf at 1050 Enterprise Way. Currently, interested parties are pursuing both spaces. Construction on the seventh and final Moffett Towers building, the 230,000 sf 1100 Enterprise Way facility, will commence soon and be the final opportunity for companies to lease space in Sunnyvale’s premier office campus.

Moffett Towers offers tenants unprecedented visibility and expansion potential in an ideal location. Strategically located at the juncture of Highways 101 and 237 in Sunnyvale, California, Moffett Towers comprises 1.8 million square feet of LEED Certified Gold, Class A office space set on 52 artfully landscaped acres. The high-performance, green buildings offer 30-70% energy savings. The transit-oriented property lies adjacent to the light rail and minutes away from Caltrain; conscientious commuters also enjoy Bauer’s Wi-Drive luxury shuttle service to Moffett Park. The campus showcases seven award-winning towers, each eight stories high - offering unparalleled bay and valley views - and a 48,000 square foot fitness center with pool and café.
