Well, that perk is about to be magnified enormously with the opening of The Block at Pacific Commons — the most exciting entertainment and fashion district this side of Downtown Disney!

16-Screen Cinema and More

The Block calls itself the premier place for shopping, dining and gathering in the East Bay. And judging from the cooooolest computer-generated flyover on YouTube, I’d have to say that’s exactly what The Block will be when it opens in a few weeks. The district will be built around a 16-screen, state-of-the-art Century Theaters cinemaplex, which will seat 3,000 patrons and is expected to attract more than one million movie-goers annually. All those movie fans will need someplace to meet, mingle, shop, and eat — so the rest of The Block’s 26 acres and 323,000 sq. ft. of retail space will be filled with a large Target store plus upscale dining establishments, fashionable shops, other trendy retailers, and art galleries. In addition, the festive, pedestrian-friendly walkways and common areas with avant-garde, interactive sculptures by world-renowned, Aristides Demetrious, will invite people to gather to talk, mix and relax.

Another Reason to Be at Fremont Business Park

When The Block opens this spring, you’ll have another compelling reason to move your business to the best office location in the entire East Bay. Think of how excited your employees will be with everything that Pacific Commons and The Block offers — right at their front door.

You and your employees can also get your car serviced at Fremont Auto Mall dealerships right down the street. And commuting and client calls are fast and easy because you’re about two minutes from the Auto Mall Parkway exit on I-880. And as an added bonus, an AC Transit bus stops at the corner in front of the parking lot and connects commuters with BART, about 20 minutes away.

Occupancy in the three-building office center has been as high as 95% in the past year, but a handful spaces from 1,000 to 6,000 sq. ft. for various sizes of businesses have now opened up. Don’t miss your chance to become part of this vibrant business community.

So if you’re looking for the perfect Silicon Valley location — without paying Silicon Valley’s high rents — come to Fremont Business Park.

Fremont Business Park Takes to the Airwaves on Radio Zindagi

Fremont is a dynamic, multicultural community. Recent studies have found that more than 40% of Fremont’s residents are immigrant families, many of them from India or other Southeast Asian countries. Radio Zindagi, 1550 on the AM band, is the first 24×7 radio station dedicated to serving the needs of the Southeast Asian community.

Now, Fremont Business Park has taken to the airwaves to reach out to Radio Zindagi’s fast-growing audience seven days a week over the next month and perhaps longer.

“Asian business people have made Fremont one of the Bay Area’s most well-educated, affluent and inventive communities,” said Borelli Investment Company Chairman Ralph N. Borelli. “We’ve seen many Asian-owned businesses move into Fremont Business Park over the past several years and we wanted to deliver our message directly to a larger number of prospective future tenants. Radio Zindagi provides a new way to do that.”

Bollywood Music, Talk Shows and More

Radio Zindagi’s schedule is exceptionally diverse, designed to appeal to the varied tastes of its listeners.

Among the program offerings listeners enjoy are:

•     Bollywood music and other memorable songs

•     Film gossip, star biographies and the latest news

•     Talk shows and a women’s hour

•     In-language shows in Punjabi, Telugu, Tamil, Gujarati, Bengali, and more

•     Financial reports, real estate programs and other specials

In addition to listening at 1550 on the AM radio dial, people can listen on their computer throughout the day over a live Internet stream by visiting radiozindagi.com and clicking on the link.

Do You Think You Know Fremont? Think Again.

Whatever you may think you know about Fremont, chances are you don’t have the whole picture. Or maybe even half the picture. That’s the message in an eye-opening promotional video recently released by the City of Fremont’s Economic Development Department.

Many people think of Fremont as a sleepy bedroom community in southern Alameda County. And that may well have been true a decade or so ago.

But today, Fremont is one of the most dynamic — and desirable — cities not only in the Bay Area, but also in the entire state!

Educated, Affluent and Inventive

Fremont is presently the 4th largest city in the Bay Area and 15th largest in the state with a population of 214,000. More than 40% of Fremont’s residents are foreign born, making the city one of the most exciting, culturally diverse, urban areas in California.

Here are more key facts about Fremont that you may not know:

•     49% of residents have bachelor’s, post-graduate or professional degrees

•     The average annual household income is $123,000

•     The median home price in 2010 was more than $654,000

•     The trade area population swells to nearly 400,000 people — making Fremont a great place to do business

•     The Daily Beast/Newsweek voted Fremont the “2nd Most Inventive City in America” — with 2,200 patents awarded in 2010
