SAN JOSE >> Nvidia began wide-ranging construction work to prepare a north San Jose office building for occupancy that could bring more tech workers to the area.

According to a public document that property owner Menlo Equities filed in early April with the Santa Clara County Recorder’s Office, Nvidia leased a three-story 100,600-square-foot office and research building at 300 Holger Way.

This month, workers could be seen in multiple locations on the property, moving equipment and operating construction machinery.

The three-story building’s assessed value as of January was $36.4 million, public records show.

Menlo Equities bought it in 2021, the company states on its website. The building is described as containing engineering and lab spaces.

Cushman & Wakefield commercial real estate brokers Steve Horton, Erik Hallgrimson, Kelly Yoder and Jeff Cushman have been marketing the building for tenants. Colliers, a commercial real estate firm, was also involved in the recent Nvidia lease deal.

In May, Nvidia paid $374.3 million to acquire eight Santa Clara office and research buildings in a deal that greatly widened the company’s South Bay property holdings. These structures are near the company’s Santa Clara headquarters.

In December, Nvidia struck a deal with The Sobrato Organization to buy four office and research buildings in Santa Clara.

“The buildings along the 237 corridor have remained a strong option for Silicon Valley companies,” said Bob Staedler, principal executive with Silicon Valley Synergy, a land-use consultancy.

Google owns numerous buildings in the vicinity.

“The activity shows the strength of north San Jose,” Staedler said.
