SAN JOSE, CA-Projects in Silicon Valley can, at least in part, be thanked for a substantial jump in office construction statewide, according to a recent report by an industry nonprofit group.

Through the first eight months of the year, according to the Burbank, CA-based Construction Industry Research Board, office construction is 64% higher than 1999. The Bay Area counties of Santa Clara and San Francisco should take most of the credit, according to the report. Construction as a whole was up 11% statewide, according to the report, totaling slightly more than $41 billion during the first eight months of this year.
