Amazon Leases More Offices in Sunnyvale at Moffett Towers

Amazon is expanding at a Sunnyvale office campus into a building formerly occupied by Google.

The Jeff Bezos-led e-commerce giant agreed to lease the entirety of 1000 Enterprise Way, an almost 317,000-square-foot building in Sunnyvale’s Moffett Towers complex, the Silicon Valley Business Journal reported. The Moffett Towers campus is owned by Jay Paul Company.

Amazon already occupies space at the Moffett Towers property. The company leased 1140 and 1160 Enterprise Way before the pandemic. Amazon’s plans for the space — including what business unit will set up shop at 1000 Enterprise Way and how many employees will work there, remain unclear — as company spokesperson Natalie Banke told the Business Journal it had no comment about the deal and that it was “excited about the Bay Area’s strong talent pool and vibrant communities in cities like Sunnyvale.” The lease arrives months after Amazon’s 16,000-employee layoff affected nearly 700 employees in Silicon Valley.

Amazon’s latest lease deal points to larger changing dynamics in the Silicon Valley office market. In recent years, established tech giants have been trimming their office space, including Google listing parts of its Moffett Towers offices for sublease three years ago and slowly emptying out of the space. That trend could be reversing, however, as Google itself has reportedly been approaching new lease agreements in several buildings, according to sources familiar with the matter cited by the Business Journal.

Recent stats bear out that predicted sea change in the local market. The first half of this year was the strongest first-six-months period for office leasing in the region since 2018, per JLL data cited by the Business Journal. Sizable leases spanning more than 100,000 square feet have doubled from the 2025 average as large corporate tenants regain confidence in the market. Artificial intelligence firms, backed by billions in venture capital funding, are responsible for leasing 2.4 million square feet of offices in Silicon Valley and the Peninsula alone this year. At the same time, new office construction dropped to its lowest level in more than two decades, tightening demand for space in the region.
