SAN JOSE — A big San Jose tech campus has landed several large leases, including one with prominent defense contractor Raytheon.

District 237, located near State Route 237 between North First Street and Zanker Road, has signed new leases with Raytheon, NXP Semiconductors, and automotive software firm CDK Global.

“The project was repositioned to appeal to those firms actively looking to upgrade their facilities and enhance their ability to attract talent in this competitive environment,” said Brent Carroll, a senior vice president with KBS Realty, the principal owner of District 237.

Together, the three leases totaled 415,000 square feet and were arranged by brokers Erik Hallgrimson, Kelly Yoder, Jeff Cushman and Steve Horton of Cushman & Wakefield, a commercial real estate firm.

Raytheon leased 143,000 square feet, NXP Semiconductors rented 96,000 square feet, and CDK Global agreed to lease 76,000 square feet.

“District 237’s newly renovated look and sophisticated amenities are truly in line with today’s tenant demands,” said Hallgrimson, a vice chairman with Cushman & Wakefield.

The developers of District 237 believe San Jose is well-positioned to keep attracting tech companies that are seeking plenty of elbow room for expansions at decent office rental levels.

“San Jose continues to benefit from Silicon Valley’s thriving economy and remains a key market for some of today’s top tech players,” said Rod Richerson, a regional president with KBS.
