NetApp to Move HQs to San Jose, CA

NetApp, Inc. plans to move its global HQs to new San Jose, CA offices that are more optimized for its future hybrid work model and employee needs.

The move from the company’s current campus location to offices in the Santana Row section of San Jose is part of the company’s ongoing transformation, accelerated by the pandemic, and its future of work strategy to thrive in the next normal.

The new office amenities will be designed to promote cross-functional collaboration and teamwork, cultivate inclusion, and increase business agility while prioritizing employee health, safety and wellness.

New HQs will keep the company in the heart of Silicon Valley and more closely embed it with the local community.

“NetApp is evolving to a flexible hybrid work model that allows us to deliver on our strategy to help more organizations put their data to work while further building a winning employee experience,” said CEO George Kurian. “Our constructive approach to the future of work and our new global HQs will enable us to create a differentiated work experience that empowers our employees to deliver their best team-based work in a more connected space.”

“As a dynamic live-work-play destination that attracts world-class companies, we are thrilled to welcome a leading global organization like NetApp to Santana Row’s lineup of office tenants,” said Jan Sweetnam, EVP, Western Region president of Federal Realty Investment Trust. “NetApp’s employees will have an unparalleled office experience enhanced by Santana Row’s expansive array of high-quality amenities and best-in-class merchandising.”

New 303,000-square-foot global HQs will be located at 700 Santana Row (also known as 3060 Olsen Drive), a modern 8-story, mixed-use complex in a walkable district of San Jose with easy access to the freeway system and shuttles to the nearby Diridon Caltrain station.

The storage company has completed the sale of its Sunnyvale campus for a purchase price of $365 million, and will be further customizing and moving into its new HQs throughout the remainder of 2021.
