A joint venture between Northridge Capital, LLC, the Washington, D.C.-based real estate investment and asset management firm, and Kamco Invest, the Kuwait-based asset management and investment banking firm, has acquired The Campus at Lawson Lane, ServiceNow’s world headquarters, a 328,867 square foot Class A office campus located in Silicon Valley, Santa Clara, California.
The purchase price was not disclosed. According to some reports the property was acquired for $276 million.
The state-of-the art Class A office campus in Silicon Valley consists of three buildings – two five-story office buildings each comprised of approximately 155,000 square feet, and a three-story amenity building that offers a full-service cafeteria, gym facilities with daily fitness classes, and social gathering hubs for employees.
Situated in one of the area’s most dynamic submarkets, the campus is fully leased to ServiceNow, offering more than 15 years of remaining lease term, and will generate a net cash yield of 7.50% per annum, said in a statement.
The Campus sits on 8.8 acres in a highly amenitized area of Santa Clara, just north of the Central Expressway and in the heart of Silicon Valley.
