West Coast landlord Bixby Land Co. has sold a San Jose office park to MetLife for $96 million, according to Bixby, netting a tidy return for the Irvine, Calif., company.” (Wall Street Journal)
  5. The Plan: High 5 Games at 1 World Trade Center“It definitely got the ‘high’ part down when this company signed a lease on an upper floor at the World Trade Center. High 5 Games, the New York-based casino gaming company, opened its new headquarters on the 58th and 59th floors of 1 World Trade Center on April 27, and the company wanted the inside of its new office to reflect its business.

  9. Why Tech Loves Quirky, Old Buildings“As giants like Facebook and Google build shiny new cities in Silicon Valley, other technology companies are doing just the opposite to the national office landscape.
