3111 Coronado Dr. Rendering

SANTA CLARA, CA-Bixby Land Co. of Irvine, CA is investing $10 million in two office buildings it owns here, upgrading their property at 3111 Coronado Dr. with a LEED-certified redesign and redevelopment that will create 127,000 square feet of contiguous space. It is designed to meet what Bixby describes as "an increasing demand for large blocks of space in Silicon Valley." The project includes adjoining the buildings with a two-story glass pavilion and creating an exterior courtyard lounge area for tenants. Bill Halford, president and CEO of Bixby Land, says that the redevelopment is designed by Studio G Architects to produce space that "will be ideal for a user seeking a highly amenitized work environment.”

Architectural renderings of the redesigned project feature a courtyard gathering area for tenants that includes couch seating, fire pits, recessed lighting, an outdoor kitchen and grill, drought-tolerant landscaping and a waterscape feature. The redevelopment is being done with a major focus on sustainability and LEED certification for the building upon completion. A substantial portion of the redevelopment includes new roofs and HVAC systems.
