"Google has frequently bought properties, large and small, primarily in Mountain View, Sunnyvale, North San Jose, and downtown San Jose over a period of several years. Here are some examples of Google's purchasing activities in recent years: In 2018, Google paid $1 billion for a 51.8-acre, 12-building Mountain View office hub that at the time was known as Shoreline Technology Park."
"In 2019, Google paid $1 billion for several Sunnyvale properties sold by Verizon that included the one-time headquarters of Yahoo! Over a period of roughly three years, starting in December 2016 and ending in March 2019, Google paid an estimated $445 million to collect dozens of properties in downtown San Jose. Google wanted the land for a mixed-use neighborhood known as Downtown West."
Google purchased a Mountain View office building at 1808 North Shoreline Boulevard for $32.8 million, acquiring a 21,900-square-foot property the company was already occupying. The sale was an all-cash transaction with the Jeffrey A. Morris Group acting through an affiliate, and county real estate records were filed Dec. 18. The building sits about a block from Google's Gradient Canopy and a few blocks from the Googleplex. Google has executed numerous property acquisitions across Mountain View, Sunnyvale, North San Jose, downtown San Jose, Palo Alto and Redwood City, including billion-dollar purchases in 2018 and 2019 and extensive downtown San Jose buys totaling about $445 million.
