Silicon Valley Core Submarket
Mountain View Commercial Real Estate Broker
A core Silicon Valley innovation submarket. Class A multifamily and office with some of the tightest cap rates in the Bay Area. Two decades of career closed pricing records here, including 777 Middlefield, 400 Logue, 100 Mayfield, and Boston Tech Park.
Why Mountain View commands premium pricing across every asset class
Mountain View is one of the three or four most desirable CRE submarkets in the United States, and the most desirable in Silicon Valley by most institutional measures. Three structural drivers explain why pricing here remains tight through every cycle: concentrated anchor-tech employer presence with tens of thousands of on-site employees; the City of Mountain View's housing-supportive General Plan (North Bayshore, East Whisman precise plans); and the constrained zoned-residential supply across the broader Peninsula.
The result: trophy Class A multifamily clears at sub-4.10% cap rates with cross-border buyers often tightest. Class A office with credit tenant on long lease clears within 10–15% of pre-2020 peak pricing. R&D in the East Middlefield / North Bayshore corridor stays structurally bid by the lab REITs.
