Hudson Pacific Properties Acquires Interest In Page Mill Hill Campus To Expand Presence in Palo Alto

Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. (NYSE: HPP) today announced it has completed the acquisition of a leasehold interest in Page Mill Hill to further expand its presence in Stanford Research Park and Palo Alto.

Page Mill Hill is a five-building office campus totaling 182,676 square feet. The acquisition complements Hudson Pacific’s current holdings in Stanford Research Park, which include six properties comprising more than 1 million square feet of office space. Hudson Pacific is the largest office landlord in the Park, a university-affiliated business center focused on innovation and R&D.

Hudson Pacific purchased its interest in Page Mill Hill for $150 million before credits, prorations and closing costs. The seller was a joint venture owned by Lionstone Investments and CalSTRS.

“Page Mill Hill is an excellent opportunity to add to our current assets in Stanford Research Park and further expand our presence in Palo Alto – one of the highest barrier and best performing office markets in the U.S.,” said Victor Coleman, Chairman and CEO of Hudson Pacific Properties. “We see an opportunity to make our signature improvements to Page Mill Hill to drive leasing demand and capture the mark-to-market on rents as leases roll.”

Hudson Pacific is the largest institutional owner of office space in Silicon Valley, with 22 assets totaling over 7 million square feet. Among its properties in the region are Palo Alto Square, Foothill Research Center in Palo Alto, Page Mill Center in Palo Alto, Metro Center in Foster City, Skyport Plaza in San Jose, and Gateway in San Jose.

Page Mill Hill is currently fully leased to prominent legal and accounting firms, including Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher; Frank, Rimerman + Co.; Manatt, Phelps & Phillips; and Perkins Coie.

Stanford Research Park, founded in 1951, sits on 700 acres and has more than 160 buildings totaling over 10 million square feet. The park was designed as a partnership between the city and Stanford University as a center for innovation focused on R&D facilities with significant limitations on inventory for office owners/users. The park has more than 150 companies and 30,000 employees, including Google, HP Inc., Tesla, SAP VMWare, Merck and Toyota Research Institute.
