From Mountain View to San Jose, Google is currently in the process of buying out enough space for a headquarters expansion that could double its Bay Area footprint.

Per The Mercury News the tech giant is slowly buying out properties near Diridon Station in Downtown San Jose in order to stitch together a 6 million square-foot campus.

The property purchases have already begun as two groups of investors have started buying all available property near the Diridon Station. With housing, shopping, and the campus in mind, the two buyers have spent $124 million in property purchases so far. 

City staffers are in the process of encouraging San Jose to let Google have the exclusive right to buy out nearby properties to create their new campus. Later this month, City Council will discuss and potentially vote on the staff’s proposal.

San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo expressed excitement for the potential to have a Google site in the city. Liccardo’s idea is to eventually transform San Jose’s downtown into an epicenter of tech companies with unique architecture and unlimited transit options.

The properties needed to create such a campus reside within a 240-acre area. If executed as planned, this new Google campus could be the largest of its kind. Naturally, there will be plenty of jobs that will come with it — up to 20,000 jobs, per estimates. 

Although the area already has Caltrain, Amtrak, and a light-rail system, it is also slated for a BART station and high-speed rail line connection in the future.

The proposed mega-campus is unlike any purchases Google has done in the Bay Area before. Recently, the tech giant bought and leased small properties in Mountain View, Palo Alto, Redwood City, Sunnyvale, and North San Jose. Perhaps the Bay Area has only just seen the start of Google’s expansion.
