The portfolio is more than 80 percent leased to a diverse mix of tenants including Apple, SanDisk, The McGraw-Hill Company, Intel and Netflix.

“This financing was an integral component of the overall portfolio strategy, which also included the recent HFF executed sales of Park Square and Marriott Business Park in Santa Clara.
