Google has outlined a major research and development hub in the Alviso district. This project will expand the company's footprint and signal strong ongoing investment in the Bay Area's largest city.
At the site near 5087 Disk Drive, crews will demolish an existing warehouse to make way for one to three new buildings totaling up to 482,800 square feet. Google has also arranged for a dedicated 250-megawatt electricity facility with PG&E to power the lab spaces effectively. The company has already invested $452 million in acquiring ten buildings in the surrounding area to form the Meadow Point campus.
These changes will attract advanced research teams and create high-quality jobs that will bolster North San Jose as a key employment center. Google has maintained other nearby locations on West Tasman Drive and Brokaw Road, and this development has built seamlessly on that foundation.
Even as the company has paused its Downtown West mixed-use project near the SAP Center and Diridon station in Downtown San Jose, this Alviso initiative has demonstrated continued dedication.
