Law Firm Wilson Sonsini Renews Full-Building Headquarters Lease

Global law firm Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati has renewed its Palo Alto headquarters lease at CommonWealth Partners’ 650 Page Mill Rd.

The 282-partner firm, founded in Palo Alto in 1961, has called the property its home since it was constructed in 1994, leasing the entire two-story, 190,000-square-foot property for its headquarters. With its renewed commitment, Wilson Sonsini will remain in the project through 2039.

“We are honored by the ongoing commitment by Wilson Sonsini, and for the great partnership we share as stewards for 650 Page Mill Rd.,” said Brett Munger, CEO and Managing Partner of CommonWealth Partners, which acquired the building and ground lease in 2011.

The law firm was represented by Eric C. Berson of Washington Realty Group, Inc. and Howard E. Dallmar of Newmark. CommonWealth Partners represented itself.
