The San Leandro Tech Campus is a 500,000 square foot project that is being completed in three phases. Phase I of the project is complete and consists of a 132,715 square foot office building and parking structure, as well as a 120,000 square foot tenant improvement for OSIsoft, LLC, and a 6 level 270,816 square foot parking garage.
This certified LEED Gold technology-focused campus is located adjacent to the Downtown San Leandro BART station and AC Transit BRT for easy commuting. Featuring energy-efficient, cost-saving operational technologies that includes smart windows, utility services and HVAC systems, remote monitoring and control, improved security systems, and responsive lighting. SLTC connects directly to Lit San Leandro’s fiber optic network, and is said to offer the fastest broadband speeds in the nation to date.
The grounds of the campus is designed with an urban style that offers pathways for pedestrians and outdoor collaborative areas for socializing and work. The campus is also home to the Truth is Beauty, a 55-foot vertical, 13,000 pound sculpture by Marco Cochrane. Truth is Beauty is the second in a series of three monumental sculptures, The Bliss Project of a woman and Deja Solis. This steel sculpture of a nude woman symbolizes a woman who is powerful, safe, and free. The sculpture had it’s debut at the Burning Man in 2013 and is permanently placed as the centerpiece of the San Leandro Tech Center.
The 120,000 square foot tenant improvement for OSIsoft, LLC began construction almost immediately after Phase 1 was completed. The company leasing the office wanted the flexibility of open space while still incorporating the structure of enclosed rooms. What was constructed is a healthy balance of the two with an abundance of open space with just the right amount of enclosed offices, conference rooms, and collaboration areas. Focused on their company culture and employee retention, the first floor of the OSIsoft tenant improvement incorporates a 4,700 square foot dining and cafe area, three training and exercise rooms ranging from 650 square feet to 750 square feet, employee shower and locker rooms, and a break room.

Construction of a 210,000 square foot office development that includes 15 buildings offering creative office suites with 2 integrated retail buildings to support the working environment. The buildings and units within the campus range from 2,000 – 28,000 square feet.
The Elevon campus incorporates features that are intended to promote a well-balanced work-life experience. A key component of helping fulfill this balance is to engage regularly with the outdoors. The buildings include numerous operable windows and double glazed roll-up doors to maximize indoor/outdoor relationships. The courtyards are overflowing with amenities including fireplaces, water features, wood chaise lounge day beds, wood slat enclosures, concrete seat walls, bocce ball courts, walking trails, and outdoor offices.
Prominent features on the project include large common green areas to exercise, play, work, and relax. Warm materials were used for finishes that are reminiscent of residential design to make the space more neighborly. The layout includes flexible interior floor plans, flowing indoor/outdoor spaces, and retail spaces that are fully integrated as a part of the campus.
Architectural finishes unique to the project are the roll-up patio doors that provide a connection from work spaces to the outdoors, varying roof lines among the buildings, individuality in each building brought together by a simple palette of materials, refined industrial sensibility, standing seam metal roofs which fold down as walls, tilt-up concrete walls, large openings of glass, exposed steel structures (columns, roofs, floors), metal panel elements, and rooftop decks overlooking the central green spaces.
The Del Rey Campus project consists of (3) concrete tilt-up two story buildings offering prospective tenants 150,000+ SF of flexible and open floor space that can be customized to meet tenant needs and is marketed as creative office space. The project is setup as a campus with the buildings and the 589 stall 5 level parking garage all on the perimeter creating a campus atmosphere and layout. The buildings feature high exposed clerestory ceilings as well as balconies and patios. Wooden trellis features traverse the campus, used as patio guardrails and semi-private screens that descend into the landscape, uniting each building to the central courtyard. A fitness center is provided on the first level of the parking structure, as well as surf board storage for those who choose to catch a wave before work. The campus courtyard also features a large fireplace, yoga deck and barbecue area.
The four-story Class ‘A’ structural steel office building includes over 31,000 SF of floor plates, floor to ceiling glass and is certified LEED Gold. The new building is in walking distance to the Sunnyvale Caltrain Station and located in a hub of technology driven companies.
The building skin is primarily a glazed curtain wall system, with ACM panels at the stairwells, a 4th floor balcony, and a perimeter rooftop eyebrow finished with longboard material on the underside wrapped with ACM panels. The building sits on top of new below grade parking garage built with 1’6” thick mat slab, shotcrete perimeter walls, interior concrete columns and covered by a concrete podium deck. 100 parking spaces are available in the covered parking garage and 253 stalls on grade. Over 12,000 SF of solar carport canopies enhance the property and provide added energy into the building.
A 2,500 SF amenity area includes (4) gas fire pits, a kitchen counter with sink, BBQ Grille, refrigerator, ping pong tables, and an overhead steel trellis and canopy. Landscape includes CMU planters finished with tile and stone caps, palm trees, security cameras, WAP devices, and audio speakers for entertainment. The project is in the process of a Wellness Certification Silver Level.
