Demand for Class A Office Space Remains Strong in Bay Area
“The relevancy of the office has been brought into question this year as many of the Bay Area’s companies have adopted long-term work from home policies in response to COVID,” said Kevin Moul, senior vice president of Colliers Institutional Capital Markets Team. “Toda America’s acquisition of Hites Plaza not only instills confidence in this asset but also highlights equity demand for qulity suburban office space.”
Located at 5601 Arnold Road in Dublin, Hites Plaza consists of a four-story office building with 120,199 square feet of rentable space. At the time of the acquisition the office building was leased at 90 percent to national or credit tenants including Easter Seals, the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the California Department of Justice.
Hites Plaza was completed in 2000 and is equipped with modern design features, cutting edge building systems including redundant power and HVAC capacity, 12-foot ceiling heights and large flexible floorplates to fulfill today’s tenant’s requirements.
“The significance of this deal is underscored by recent relocation announcement from major Bay Area companies, some of which are opting to move to suburban areas” added Moul. “The Tri-Valley is well-positioned to meet the growing suburban office trend. The area is already home to a growing and diverse corporate sub-market of technology and Fortune 500 companies and offers employees a myriad of benefits from affordability, favorable commute times to surrounding Bay Area locales and abundant housing.”
Hites Plaza is surrounded by a robust amenity base that includes immediate access to BART, interstates 580 and 680, over nine million square-feet of dining and retail offerings and approximately 10,000 multifamily units.
