Google has frequently bought properties, large and small, primarily in Mountain View, Sunnyvale, North San Jose, and downtown San Jose over a period of several years. Here are some examples of Google's purchasing activities in recent years: In 2018, Google paid $1 billion for a 51.8-acre, 12-building Mountain View office hub that at the time was known as Shoreline Technology Park.
We're transforming this building into a hub that will deliver meaningful impact for people who need it most, said Christopher Baker, chief executive officer of Goodwill of Silicon Valley.
