Trusted Reputation
The Sakauye family came to Santa Clara County from Japan in 1900 and began acquiring land. By 1996, they had sold off most of their 200 acres, retaining a prime 10-acre site in North San Jose. Reluctant to enter into a partnership but cognizant of Sobrato's stellar reputation, the family entered into a 99-year ground lease allowing us to build 220,000 square feet of Class A office space on the site. Today, the project generates more than $1 million each year for the Sakauye family.
