Sobrato Organization

Our Strength is Your Advantage Since 1953, the Sobrato Family has played a pivotal role in shaping Silicon Valley with unique facilities that provide compelling benefits for forward-thinking companies. Founded by John A. Sobrato in 1979, The Sobrato Organization today remains a family-owned firm with no outside investors or joint venture partners. Led by our Chairman and Founder John A. Sobrato and his son, John M. Sobrato, who serves as Chief Executive Officer, our firm is known for integrity and dedication. Consistent with our lifelong belief in giving back, in 1996 we formalized our charitable giving through establishment of our family foundation, and have since donated $379 million in cash and real estate to our communities through the Sobrato Philanthropies. Cultivating Stability, Responding with Agility For more than three decades, The Sobrato Organization has cultivated enduring relationships with leading technology companies, real estate brokers, architects, subcontractors and other vendors. Today, thanks to wise investments and solid partnerships, our financial strength rivals that of many larger real estate investment trusts. Unlike institutional developers that rely on layers of management for decision-making, Sobrato is structured to keep up with fast-paced schedules. We operate our own construction company and we conduct all lease negotiations in-house to streamline the development process. Our principals take a hands-on role in every major transaction we undertake. Bring Us Your Vision and We Can Build Your Future Today, Sobrato owns more than 75 commercial properties in Silicon Valley and hundreds of acres of land throughout Santa Clara and Alameda counties. We have developed more than 15 million square feet of office and R&D properties, and currently own 7.5 million square feet in commercial space — mostly Class A, mid-rise office buildings. Having developed or purchased more than 10,000 units since our founding, our firm now owns 30 apartment communities totaling 6,700 units along the West Coast.
