Google pays $100 million for offices
Around Town, posted by Editor, Mountain View Voice Online, on Oct 27, 2011 at 2:19 pm

If Google is aiming to use every property in North Bayshore it added a huge piece to the puzzle last week, paying $100 million to buy a campus across the street from its main headquarters.

I worked in those buildings during their recent renovation. They were a delight until all the indoor planting was paved over with concrete. The buildings also suffer from extremely poor space usage; massive interior two-story hallways, multiple large atrium/lobbies. I wouldn't be surprised if Google mowed them down and rebuilt. Or gutted them out to a shell and rebuilt the inside.

BTW, Mozilla is located in one of the buildings.

Is it too early to change Mtn. View's name to Googleville?

Now the next step for Google is to purchase all the homes in Mtn. View and use them for their purposes to expand themselves. How about all the apartments as well. Then Mtn. View can be called THE CITY OF GOOGLE.

Google should give all Old time MV residents $10,000,000. ea. for their property.
