Copper Anodize Attracts Tenants to California Office Buildings
To attract and retain high-tech tenants to the Mountain View Corporate Center, the new owners invested in updating three buildings from concrete exteriors to a modern copper-colored metal panel façade. To achieve the intended appearance, Linetec finished more than 23,000 square feet of aluminum panels in its proprietary Copper Anodize. Along with the high-tech aesthetic, the durable anodize supports the property's sustainability goals and protects the aluminum panels fabricated by Morin Corporation and installed by Sheet Metal Systems (SMS).
Originally built in the late 1980s as a corporate campus for a former single tenant, Rockwood Capital acquired the Mountain View Corporate Center's 266,000-square-foot, five-building, 16-acre property in 2014. Recognized as a strong Silicon Valley submarket, the buildings now are home to multiple, high-tech tenants including Mozilla, a web software company, and Coursera, an ed-tech company.
Mountain View Corporate Center is one of the few large-scale office campuses in Silicon Valley where employees can walk or bike to Caltrain and retail amenities. The transit-oriented property is walking distance to downtown Mountain View's Caltrain station and the Evelyn VTA light rail station, and provides direct access to the adjacent CA-237 freeway. Along with its convenient location, additional amenities include a large landscaped area for tenants to eat, play, and work outdoors; basketball and volleyball courts, showers, and easy access to the nearby Stevens Creek Trail.
