Nvidia Doubles Down on Silicon Valley with $123 Million Business Park Acquisition Amid Tech Layoffs

Nvidia Expands Silicon Valley Presence with Major Office Park Acquisition

Nvidia continues to grow its footprint in Silicon Valley by acquiring a significant business park near its Santa Clara headquarters. The company recently purchased a 10-building office and research park located at 2348 and 2350 Walsh Avenue, directly across from its main campus. This acquisition adds more than 250,000 square feet of space to Nvidia’s local real estate holdings.

Despite widespread tech industry layoffs—over 11,000 jobs cut in early 2025 by companies like Meta, Google, and Intel—Nvidia is moving in the opposite direction. The chipmaker, a key player in artificial intelligence hardware, is investing heavily in expanding its regional office and manufacturing capacity.

Strategic Real Estate Moves in Santa Clara

Earlier this year, Nvidia acquired four additional properties plus a parking garage on San Tomas Expressway. About a year ago, it purchased its longtime headquarters on the same street for $374.3 million, securing seven buildings totaling roughly 626,200 square feet. The main campus buildings—named Voyager and Endeavor after starships from a popular sci-fi series—feature futuristic, low-profile architecture.

This latest purchase of the Walsh Avenue business park was completed for $123 million in cash. The property was previously part of a portfolio acquired by Blackstone in 2022. These moves reinforce Nvidia’s commitment to consolidating and expanding its office and research space close to its core operations.

Supporting Silicon Valley’s Office Market and Growth

Nvidia is also stimulating the local office market through leasing. The company signed a lease late last year for a 100,000-square-foot property at 300 Holger Way in San Jose, addressing increased space needs driven by sales and hiring growth.

Beyond real estate, Nvidia plans to invest up to $500 billion in the coming four years to build AI supercomputers domestically. It has secured over a million square feet of manufacturing space in Arizona and Texas through partnerships with suppliers.

Boosting U.S. Chip Manufacturing for AI

Nvidia is ramping up production of its Blackwell chips at a Phoenix plant operated by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. It is also building new facilities in Texas in collaboration with Foxconn in Houston and Wistron in Dallas. Mass production at these sites is expected within 12 to 15 months.

According to Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang, establishing AI infrastructure manufacturing in the U.S. enhances supply chain resilience and better meets growing demand for AI chips and supercomputers. This strategy aligns with broader industry trends focusing on domestic production capabilities.

Implications for Real Estate and Construction Professionals

• Office Demand: Nvidia’s acquisitions and leases highlight ongoing demand for large-scale office and research spaces, even amid wider tech downsizing.
• Industrial Growth: Expansion into manufacturing facilities in Arizona and Texas signals increased investment in industrial real estate related to semiconductor production.
• Market Confidence: Nvidia’s real estate moves demonstrate confidence in the long-term growth of AI and semiconductor sectors, impacting regional commercial real estate dynamics.

For professionals tracking commercial real estate trends, Nvidia’s activity provides a concrete example of how leading tech firms are selectively expanding physical footprints despite broader economic uncertainties.
