W3 Partners, an institutional real estate investment manager and operating company, and Ridge Capital Partners LLC, a private equity investment firm, acquired the three-building R&D office complex last October for $34.15 million. A key acquisition strategy was working with SunPower Corp. to consolidate from its occupancy of all three single-story buildings into two buildings, providing the new owners with the opportunity to sign Extreme Networks.
Extreme Networks will pay base rent of $1.35 million per year, increasing annually to $1.76 million in the final year of the initial term. W3 Partners is obligated to provide up to $1.15 million as an allowance toward initial tenant improvements.
