SILICON VALLEY, Aug. 30, 2023 – JLL Capital Markets announced today the sale of 825 Stewart Dr., a mission-critical, fully leased R&D facility totaling 75,350 square feet in Sunnyvale, California.
JLL represented the seller, GI Partners, and procured the buyer, BGO.
825 Stewart Dr., which was most recently renovated in 2015, is 100% leased to an American multinational technology company, which has also invested significant capital into the building infrastructure. The two-story building offers highly specialized lab improvements and 242 surface parking spaces.

The JLL Capital Markets team representing the seller was led by Will Connors, Daniel Renz, Michael Manas, Cheri Pierce, Kendall Willet and Aisling Duffy.
"The successful sale of 825 Stewart Dr. underscores the importance of mission-critical infrastructure and power in today's capital markets environment,” said Manas. “The specialized lab improvements, coupled with the tenant's significant capital investments, created a compelling value proposition and competitive buyer pool.”
