Advanced Micro Devices has sold it’s 13.28 acres to a Bay area developer, John Laing Homes for a cool $25.8 million. The property is located in north Sunnyvale near Lawrence Expressway and Duane, directly behind the AMD building. AMD is glad to be able to sell this “surplus” property and help in providing Sunnyvale with more places to build housing. John Lain Homes plan on building 242 condominiums as well as various community facilities on the property. AMD employees may have a very short commute if they buy in this location….walk to work!! Building is set to start later this year.

“where they cut the trees down and name trees after them…” I hate to see the property behind the Sunnyvale’s white house get developed. That, along with the Corn Palace down the road constitute a large portion of Sunnyvale’s green space, excluding educational facilities. The city has its heritage tree and landscaping codes with keep things green-friendly, but it’s sad seeing the last of this valley’s unparalleled agricultural richness/quality and heritage get plowed under for more housing.
We’ve got lots of community facilities and LOTS of homes. What say we release some of this unused industrial space to be leveled and create some housing in virtually the same area without the loss.
Thanks for your blog! It’s good to see some local news and perspective on the industry.
