San Jose sits at the heart of Silicon Valley and anchors one of the world's most valuable CRE markets, with office and R&D rents among the highest in the nation. The North San Jose submarket along Highway 237 has evolved from industrial to a major tech campus zone, while downtown San Jose is undergoing transformation led by Google's planned Downtown West mixed-use mega-project near Diridon Station. The Santa Clara submarket houses major campuses for Intel, Nvidia, and Applied Materials, and the Milpitas and Fremont areas have become hotbeds for advanced manufacturing and clean energy firms. Despite cyclical tech layoffs, the market's deep pool of engineering talent and proximity to venture capital sustain long-term demand.
