Stion Corp. Inks 65,000-SF Headquarters Lease

SAN JOSE, CA-Stion Corp. will expand and relocate its headquarters to San Jose from Menlo Park later this year. The manufacturer of thin-film solar technology has signed a five-year lease for a 65,000-sf building in the Edenvale industrial area of South San Jose.

Stion is currently housed in 11,000 sf at 3603 Haven Avenue. Its new space is at 6321 San Ignacio Ave., a building that was previously owned and occupied by IBM and is now owned by publicly held Mission West Properties of Cupertino. A Stion official was not immediately available Monday for comment.

Sherry Gubera, one of two Cornish & Carey brokers who represented Stion, tells GlobeSt.com that Stion took the one-story building “as is” and is now having a third party build out the space. The lease commences in June, when the space is expected to be ready for full occupancy, says Gubera, who worked on the deal with fellow C&C broker Jay Phillips.
