BIXBY LAND COMPANY SELLS SILICON VALLEY OFFICE CAMPUS TO AEW CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

May 16, 2013by debbieheinze

3111-3141 Coronado Drive Associates, LLC, a venture between Bixby Land Company and JP Morgan, announces the sale of a two-building office campus at 3111-3141 Coronado Drive in Santa Clara, Calif. to AEW Capital Management, L.P. (AEW). AEW acquired the property on behalf of one of its institutional clients at an undisclosed price. Both buyer and seller were self-represented in the transaction.

The sale transaction follows the acclaimed 2012 renovation of the project, a contemporary redesign that garnered the 2012 Structures Award as Best Reuse/Rehab Project in Silicon Valley by Silicon Valley Business Journal. Bixby leased the entire 127,000-square-foot facility upon completion to Santa Clara-based Infoblox.

“This is an opportune time to realize our investment objective following the successful renovation and leasing of the project, said Bill Halford, president and CEO of Bixby Land Company. “We set out to create a compelling work environment with the image and high quality amenities sought by today’s companies,” added Halford.

The project features a two-story glass pavilion entrance that was created by adjoining the two buildings. Bixby redesigned the buildings to deliver modern exterior lines and maximize the outdoor space, including the addition of an outdoor living room for tenants, the Bixby Retreat™. Bixby’s contemporary courtyard gathering area includes couch seating, fire pits, recessed lighting, an outdoor kitchen and grill, drought tolerant landscaping and an attractive waterscape feature.
