3475 Deer Creek Rd is leased by SAP AppHaus[0]. There are so many PHB bizwords on the website, I pretty much feel asleep trying to figure out if they did anything real or if it's well-meaning MBAs who sold their bosses on the wantrepreneur cargo cult fashion of renting expensive property in Palo Alto.

Interestingly, Apple re-leased the W SJ Triangle Building they used to occupy in the 80's & 90's that had a giant vintage rainbow Apple logo facing I-280. It has had a history of short-term occupancy post-Apple with Accolade (games) and various other tenants over the decades.

Mega rich tech areas ought to reinvest in the future by launching teaching venues and community-focused employee-/member-owned co-op sw/hw hackspaces-library-event-makespaces if they really want to attract people who aren't interested in, are put-off, or can't afford corporate-focused/-gatekept "innovation centers". Co-working space is so commodified, it needs to be local and special rather than transactional to draw people. There is/was a church (Spark perhaps) in Palo Alto that had quite a large coworking space, and the folks there were really cool.
