Our San Jose office tracks commercial real estate market trends in the Greater San Jose/Silicon Valley area, which includes Santa Clara County. Our local professionals, with an average of nearly 20 years’ industry experience, work closely with colleagues in our Palo Alto and San Francisco offices. Along with our Southern California offices, we comprise California’s largest corporate real estate advisory firm specializing in tenant representation and corporate services, including project management, strategic planning, portfolio management, and capital markets expertise. We also maintain strong international ties through our local liaison to India, Asia, Europe, and other overseas markets.

In 2008 we expect the Silicon Valley market to continue to soften to the Tenant's benefit, with Office/R&D vacancy increasing and rents continuing to decline. Pressure on landlords to compete for Tenants will drive rents down and lease concessions up. To put their interests first, Tenants should be proactive in negotiating multiple facility alternatives by partnering with experienced real estate advisors who exclusively represent their interests. For the remainder of the year, we expect that employment in Silicon Valley will improve at a deliberate pace, with technology and life sciences companies leading the way. Venture capital spending will likely continue to be strong.

The origin of our firm dates back to 1994, when Principal John Brady co-founded the national CresaPartners Alliance, which preceded the incorporation of CresaPartners. Today, our office in San Jose continues to grow, with our expert project management team working closely with seasoned brokers and strategic advisors. Our 20 professionals in San Jose—complemented by their counterparts in Palo Alto and San Francisco—routinely help our clients align their real estate with their business plan and reduce their occupancy costs significantly.
  
Throughout the years, our professionals have earned many industry accolades, including: 2006 Silicon Valley R&D/Office Broker of the Year, Broker Hall of Fame, Hottest Broker of the Year, and Women of Distinction.
