The Merc has an article about a new Sunnyvale resident – Amazon.com’s Lab126, which will be taking over 500k square feet of office space in Moffett Towers. I previously blogged about their arrival. But noteworthy in this article is one little gem:
The lease also is a coup for San Francisco-based development firm Jay Paul. The company is the developer and principal owner of Moffett Towers. The 2-million-square-foot office complex is now completely full.
Good news for Sunnyvale.
Sorry for the delay. I’ve been pretty backed up over the past week, and I’m trying to catch up.
Pretty short agenda this time, coming so close after the previous one. We start the meeting with a closed session involving two sets of existing litigation. This is followed by a study session regarding options for power reliability in the Moffett Park area. In the past, we’ve had some complaints from businesses in that area about power problems (mostly fluctuations in power levels). Power fluctuations can be something of a big deal to high-tech companies, so the city is looking at ways to mitigate them.
I ran across an interesting news item last night. The City of Palo Alto is studying entering into a public/private partnership with developer Jay Paul, in which Jay Paul would provide the city with land for a new police station and build that new police station, in exchange for being permitted to exceed existing development standards when building a new office complex nearby. Palo Alto is only just getting into this issue, but the reaction to the proposal seems to be positive.
Sorry for the lateness. Busy night. We start with a closed session to discuss the City Manager’s performance evaluation, then get to business very quickly, with no special orders or presentations.
The consent calendar is huge, with some meaty items, including a new Sewer System Management Plan, some proposed changes to utility infrastructure spending, new manholes and sewer lines, and even a proposed rejection of RFP proposals. Then we get to the general business.
Just posted in the Merc, but I’ve blogged about it before, so nothing new here.
