The Sobrato Tower FINALLY Get's a Tenant!

It has been confirmed! PWC will be moving to 209,151 sqft of shiny blue glass in downtown San Jose known to most as the Sobrato tower. This flagship AAA office space has been vacant since completion in 2002. A few years ago it was destined to become the BEA headquarters, but Oracle's acquisition of BEA put a hold on those plans. Finally, this amazing building will be utilized. I was fortunate enough to tour the top floor a couple years after it was complete, and this is easily the nicest office building Downtown, if not in all of San Jose. It is unfortunate to have such a great space empty for so long... but that's all history now. Come early 2011, at least thirteen hundred workers are going to be very happy.

The Sobrato Tower May FINALLY Get a Tenant!

In today's San Jose Business Journal, there is an article saying that PricewaterhouseCoopers is considering moving into the shiny blue Sobrato tower at 488 Almaden downtown. Nothing is set in stone, but they are looking to expand into a larger building when their lease expires in Dec. and this building is on the shortlist.

I've been in the Sobrato tower once, and the view from the top floor is stunning. The fact that this building has been vacant for more than half a decade now is just plain sad. This is the nicest office tower in all of downtown San Jose and PWC would be lucky to call it home!
