The Sunnyvale, CA-based Juniper Networks, a provider of networking and security solutions, has a major presence in the area. According to Coleen Hurley, real estate manager for Juniper Networks, the sublease deal in this facility was for surplus space.

Brian McKenzie, John Lashar, John Wilson and Jamey Lipscomb of Richards Barry Joyce & Partners represented Juniper Networks in the transaction. Red Hat was represented by Chris Peterson, Steve Rich and Peter Trivelas of Equis Corp. The building is owned by the Gutierrez Co.

"This sublease benefits all parties involved," says McKenzie, a partner at Richards Barry Joyce & Partners. "Juniper Networks has found an excellent subtenant in Red Hat, which in turn gains by occupying well maintained office space that is optimized for a high tech occupant."
