Databricks’ latest signing for three floors at 250 West Washington expand on the company’s 305k sf full-building lease of the adjacent 200 West Washington building last July, giving the firm a total of more than 455k sf in Sunnyvale. With this transaction, the entire 250 West Washington building is now occupied.
Each of the seven-story office buildings at 250 and 200 West Washington Ave, are LEED Gold-certified, Wired Score Gold, and Fitwel-certified. Additionally, they feature multiple outdoor terraces with wireless and Wi-Fi coverage, totaling more than 20k sf, along with 800 below-grade parking stalls.
The latest lease for Databricks was negotiated by Vincent Scott, Michael Benevento, and Rochelle Imani of CBRE San Jose on behalf of Hunter Partners. Meanwhile, the JLL team of Armand Tiano and Andy Hueser repped Databricks.
This is Databricks’ third major lease in the Bay Area this year. In March, the company announced that it would be moving its corporate headquarters from 160 Spear St in downtown San Francisco to One Sansome, where it had leased 150k sf.
Databricks is the data and AI company founded in 2013 by the original creators of Apache Spark™. Databricks has scaled into a global company, with approximately 8,000 employees in 20+ countries. Today, more than 20,000 organizations worldwide — including adidas, AT&T, Bayer, Block, Mastercard, Rivian, Unilever, and over 60 percent of the Fortune 500, rely on Databricks to build and scale data and AI apps, analytics and agents.
Cityline’s development team, officially STC Venture,LLC, is a joint venture between Sares Regis Group of Northern California (SRGNC) and Hunter Partners, with SRGNC serving as the primary residential developer and Hunter Partners as the primary commercial developer. Groundbreaking for Cityline’s Phase I kicked off in late 2016. Construction included 273 apartments and nearly 10k sf of retail. That was followed by a 110k sf building anchored by Whole Foods Market and AMC Theaters, two retail uses that were priorities for the city.
In early 2021, the third phase commenced as the Downtown Specific Plan (DSP) was approved, allowing 792 residential new units and 650k sf of office space located above 182k sf of ground floor retail on four parcels along Murphy and McKinley Avenues. Topping out in May 2023, the two seven-story office buildings (200 Washington and its companion at 250 Washington), are joined by a 12-story luxury apartment tower, The Martin, which is attracting new retailers and residents.
