Big Tech is tiptoeing back into Sunnyvale in a very big way. Apple and Amazon have quietly locked in major office leases in the city’s Moffett Park area this month, snapping up large blocks of space at two high-profile campuses. Apple is slated to take about 125,800 square feet at 580 North Mary Avenue, while Amazon has committed roughly 316,600 to 317,000 square feet at 1000 Enterprise Way. The pair of deals ranks among the biggest South Bay office commitments reported so far in 2026 and signals renewed appetite for move-in-ready, amenity-heavy Class A space.
Where the New Deals Landed
Apple’s agreement to lease the Peery-Arrillaga-owned building at 580 North Mary Avenue was first reported by The Mercury News. Over at 1000 Enterprise Way, Amazon has taken the entire building at the Moffett Towers campus in a deal covering roughly 316,600 to 317,000 square feet, according to the Silicon Valley Business Journal.
Why Landlords Are Seeing Interest
Industry reports and broker chatter point to a clear flight to quality, as tenants chase market-ready campuses with amenities and lab or high-power infrastructure instead of taking on big renovation projects. Colliers highlights how tenants are gravitating toward newer, well-equipped product, while recent large leases and property buys are helping push occupancy gains in select South Bay submarkets, according to CoStar. Landlords with this kind of plug-and-play inventory are suddenly back in style.
What It Means for Sunnyvale
Sunnyvale has been steadily pulling in more big-tech leasing and acquisition activity, and these latest moves around Moffett Park fit that arc. The extra office density has the potential to juice nearby retail and services, along with commuter traffic, as more workers cycle through the area. Owners of modern buildings with efficient, flexible floor plates look poised to benefit first if this leasing burst turns into a sustained trend.
Looking Ahead
Leasing trackers say Silicon Valley’s momentum is starting to look a lot like the old days again. As reported by the Silicon Valley Business Journal, first-half leasing activity in the region is the strongest since 2018, and Sunnyvale’s new Apple and Amazon commitments slot neatly into that pattern. Brokers will be watching closely this fall to see whether other large tenants follow their lead as companies hammer out long-term space plans for AI and hardware engineering teams.
