SAN JOSE — Super Micro Computer has expanded its foothold in San Jose with the purchase of two office and research buildings that it obtained from Lumentum.
The tech company paid $43 million to purchase the north San Jose office buildings, documents filed on Feb. 27 with the Santa Clara County Recorder’s Office show. It was an all-cash deal, according to the real estate documents.
In 2019, Lumentum, a telecommunications equipment company, bought a building at 1001 Ridder Park Drive, plus the two Fox Drive buildings it has just sold. The 1001 Ridder Park building wasn’t part of the just-completed Super Micro purchase.
This latest deal on Fox Drive extends Super Micro’s expansion at three distinct tech hubs within a few minutes’ driving distance of the company’s headquarters at 980 Rock Ave. The head offices and emerging work hubs are all in north San Jose.
One office building that Super Micro bought has addresses that include 1717 and 1733 Fox Drive, while the other has addresses that include 1745 and 1751 Fox Drive, according to the county real estate records. Together, the two buildings total 115,400 square feet…
