"Higgins Development Partners, LLC is one of the largest developers in the country. As such, we have done hundreds of projects around the country and dealt with many economic development departments and city staffs. I have to say that Sunnyvale's staff is one of the best we've worked with. One recent Sunnyvale development project entailed building an 800,000-square-foot office campus in roughly 14 months. The City of Sunnyvale and its staff worked diligently with us to streamline the approval process, which in some other municipalities may have taken six to eight months. We received our building entitlements from the Sunnyvale City Council in a little over eight weeks ... a phenomenal accomplishment by any standards. I'm happy to say that we completed the project on time and on budget, and recently turned it over to the tenant. This would not have been accomplished without the heroic effort of the Community Development Staff at the City of Sunnyvale.
--Bob Hutchison, V.P., Development, Higgins Development Partners, LLC
"When thinking about potential locations for our new complex, it was very important that we remained in the heart of Silicon Valley, and Sunnyvale surely embodies that spirit. Yahoo! is very happy about moving into its new facilities in the Moffett Park area of The City, and we look forward to continuing to make a positive and substantial impact on the community
around us."
-- James Nelson, Vice President of Finance, Yahoo! Inc.
"We saw Moffet Park in Sunnyvale as the 'sweet spot' for locating our new corporate headquarters. It's at the center of Silicon Valley and the City has been a great partner to work with."
--Thom Bryant, VP Workplace Resources, Network Appliance
"Sunnyvale's personal service reflects empathy, concern and helpfulness to business interests. For many cities, fast-tracking is nor more than a buzzword. However in Sunnyvale it is a credo the city actually lives by."
--Sheri L. Dunn, Director, Property Management, The RREEF Funds
"Knowledge, keeping promises, and accessibility make Sunnyvale the City of Cooperation. It's refreshing to find a municipality that appreciates business."
--Scott R. Trobbe, Principal, South Bay Construction and Development Co.
