Boston Properties Joins San Jose’s 1.1M-SF Platform 16 Development Team

Boston Properties, Inc. joined with San Francisco-based TMG Partners and Valley Oak Partners to co-develop Platform 16, an urban campus near Diridon Station in downtown San Jose. The planned 1.1-million-square-foot Class A office development is located on a 5.4-acre site adjacent to Google’s planned transit village.

Boston Properties’ Bob Pester says, “At the site of one of the biggest technology hubs in the country, Platform 16 will help companies attract and retain the best and brightest minds to the area by offering easy access to public transportation, housing, culture, food and entertainment in the heart of San Jose.”

The three-building campus has large floorplates ranging up to 90,000 square feet, 15-foot floor-to-floor heights, 16 large outdoor terraces and multiple indoor and outdoor workspaces, as well as on-site amenities.

Boston Properties ground-leased the land from TMG and Valley Oak Partners for 65 years, with an option in 2020 to acquire the land. Demolition and site improvements are expected to commence in spring 2019, with groundbreaking in mid-summer, and delivery by as early as 2021.
