Summary

  • Apple leased 125,800 square feet at 580 North Mary Ave. and Amazon took 316,600 square feet at 1000 Enterprise Way, according to sources familiar with the deals.
  • Those leases add to signs of a South Bay office rebound, with Colliers saying demand for market-ready, amenity-rich Class A space helped push vacancy down to 14.1% in Q2 2026.
  • That rate improved from 14.8% in Q4 2025 and 16.2% a year earlier across Santa Clara County and Fremont, the market area tracked by Colliers.
  • Sunnyvale has become a focal point for office leasing and purchases, especially downtown, where AI firms are expanding; Apple has also been buying properties there.
  • Neither company commented on the specific transactions, though Amazon said it continues to evaluate Bay Area real estate needs around its workforce and business.
