Construction is complete on Mountain View’s newest Class A office building, 600 National. Located adjacent to Highway 101 with nearby access to Highways 237 and 85, 600 National is blocks from the future headquarters property LinkedIn recently acquired in the Google property trade. The 152,000-square-foot, premier building represents the only available large-block leasing opportunity in the supply-constrained city of Mountain View.
“Seeing our state-of-the-art building completed is extremely gratifying,” said Randy Lamb, principal of development team National Avenue Partners, LLC. “We initially targeted this property for development 15 years ago, and over the years have watched some of Silicon Valley’s most prominent tech innovators commit to and invest in this neighborhood. 600 National is a truly unique opportunity in a compelling location.”
The majority of the buildings surrounding the property are occupied by several major tenants including Google, Honda, Samsung, Siemens, Symantec and Synopsys. The transit-oriented property lies one block from an MVgo Shuttle stop with free service to downtown Mountain View and the Caltrain station. The Bayshore/NASA and Middlefield VTA Light Rail stations are also a short walk from 600 National. In addition, a large parking structure offers ample on-site parking.
“The Middlefield submarket is well established,” said Phil Mahoney, a Newmark Cornish & Carey executive managing director marketing the property for lease together with Executive Vice President Randy Gabrielson and Senior Managing Director Mike Saign. “Mountain View’s most elite technology tenants have cemented themselves there, which ensures continued strength and enhances tenant appeal. National Avenue Partners fully realized its meaningful vision at 600 National.”
Large, open, efficient floor plates on four floors stimulate collaboration as do luxurious outdoor amenity spaces and four outdoor decks. The LEED Gold-compliant property features electric vehicle charging stations, bike storage and on-site showers. With asking rents 25 percent lower than Mountain View’s downtown market, there is value in locating in the Middlefield submarket, a quick shuttle ride away from downtown. Prominent building signage facing Highway 101 is also available.
