Class A Office Space in Fremont, California

Happy Holidays from Fremont Business Park!

by

As all eyes turn skyward to catch a glimpse of that jolly old man in the fur-trimmed red suit, we at Fremont Business Park think it’s time for a look back at 2010 and all that we have to be thankful for this year.

Fremont Business ParkTo be honest, 2010 didn’t start off very well. If you’ll recall, the dust and noise from Christy Street’s extensive $2 million makeover was a bit of a nuisance. And on the economic front, the financial markets started downhill about as fast as a sleigh slides off a snow-covered roof. Things didn’t look good.

But by the time the winter rains had ended, not only had the markets started back up again, but the all-encompassing renovation was also complete. Inside and out, Fremont Business Park was like new. New formal tiled entries. New hallways. New doors and signage for the individual suites. New smaller offices to accommodate businesses just starting out. Upgraded restrooms. New conference room. New fitness facility with showers. ADA upgrades. New roof on Building 42840 Christy St. New paint. New landscaping. Resurfaced parking lot. New monument signage. Whew!!

And as they say in that baseball movie, once it was built, they did come. And they kept coming. Several new tenants had already moved in before the official grand re-opening in April. And a steady stream of businesses have continued to make Christy Street their home ever since.

TEAM Christy Created a Connected Business Community
In May, the first meeting of TEAM Christy Street was held. TEAM Christy offers each business within Fremont Business Park the opportunity to make business connections with their neighbors and to network in ways that simply aren’t commonplace in typical business complexes. Members are even provided the opportunity to gain additional exposure for their businesses by contributing to this blog!

Over the past eight months, TEAM Christy participants have referred leads to one another and even done business together. And in the Fall, Sterling Lanier, a chairman with Vistage International – the world’s leading CEO organization – got involved with TEAM Christy to add leadership development activities to the value received at each meeting.

High-Speed Internet Service
In September, Fremont Business Park completed an upgrade to the building’s fiber optic infrastructure and began offering the area’s fastest dedicated Internet service – without the slowdowns that can occur when other services pass through a central office. And the monthly costs offer significant savings over most business plans!

Then in October, TEAM Christy members got to meet business people from Borelli Investment Company’s other Building Business Network teams – TEAM Club Auto Sport and TEAM Junction. Members of the three TEAMS gathered and shared experiences at a special mixer before the inaugural concert in the Club Auto Sport Music Series.

And now, 50 blogs and 15,000 words later, here we are in the holiday season. What a year! From all of us at Borelli Investment Company and Fremont Business Park, we wish you and yours the happiest holiday season and a healthy and prosperous 2011!

Christy Street’s Ideal Fremont Location Drawing Businesses from Throughout the Bay Area

by

As new businesses continue to relocate to Fremont Business Park at Christy Street, a trend has become clear. Fremont is the place to be. And Christy Street offers one of the best locations in Fremont.

They’re coming from all over. Pleasanton and the rest of the Tri-Valley. Hayward. Union City. Other East Bay cities. Even the Peninsula. A long list of companies from diverse locales has focused on Fremont as the gateway to Silicon Valley – a way to serve technology clients without the higher rents of other Silicon Valley locations, while offering a fast and easy commute to employees.

And Fremont Business Park, located on Christy Street off Auto Mall Parkway just a block away from the Pacific Commons shopping center, is without a doubt the best building in the area. Businesses get Class A office space in an extensively renovated complex. The formal entries are tastefully appointed and make a good first impression on tenants and visitors alike. The hallways are light and airy. The bathrooms have been completely redone. Tenants have access to a well-equipped conference room with full audio-visual support as well as audioconferencing capabilities. There’s also a brand new fitness center with showers to allow employees to work out and get back to work in less time – for greater efficiency and productivity.

Fast Freeway Access
Commuters appreciate the fact that I-880 is literally two minutes away – one minute if you make the light! Hwy 84 and the Dumbarton Bridge, providing direct access to the Peninsula, are a few exits north on I-880. And Hwy 237, leading into to the heart of Silicon Valley, is about the same distance south on I-880. All this means less time in cars, and more time getting work done or getting home to families – for more satisfied, loyal employees.

Wine, Dine, Shop, and Care for your Car

Pacific Commons Shopping Center has a broad selection of white tablecloth and quick-serve establishments – as well as large retailers for your shopping pleasure. Major stores include Kohl’s, Costco, Staples, Office Depot, Lowe’s, DSW, and Old Navy. Food and beverage places include PF Chang’s, Claim Jumpers, Applebee’s, Carino’s Italian Grill, Panera Bread, In-N-Out Burger, Quiznos, Cold Stone Creamery, and Starbucks.

And if you need service for your car – or simply want to window shop for a new vehicle – Fremont Auto Mall is just a mile away. Head down Auto Mall Parkway, then make a left on Cushing Parkway. You’ll find dealers for BMW, Chevrolet, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Lexus, Nissan, Porsche, Toyota, and Mercedes-Benz. Think of the convenience and the time you’ll save when your vehicle needs to be taken in for service!

If you’ve been looking for a like-new Class A office complex in an ideal location, you must see Fremont Business Park at Christy Street. For a tour, e-mail Lee Jatta, or call (408) 520-2437. DRE License #01828564

TEAM Christy Enjoys Insightful Field Trip to Uniforce

by

On Thursday, June 24th, we had our second TEAM Christy meeting. This was a luncheon session to accommodate everyone’s busy schedules — and it was generally agreed that noon was a good time to meet.

Borelli Investment Company, which is developing the complex, supplied the lunches. After introductions by the members attending, it was time for our first field trip.

Yes, a field trip! The destination was the offices of TEAM Christy member Uniforce Sales and Engineering in the 42501 Albrae St. building, Suite 210.

Leader in Imaging for Business and Military Applications
Uniforce specializes in image acquisition, processing and video recording for a variety of industrial, medical, scientific, and military applications. The company supplies sophisticated cameras, frame grabbers, image-processing software, lenses, and lighting — as individual components or complete systems.

At Uniforce, Ben Castricone and his team had several demos set up. We saw how Uniforce relies on a Matrox Iris smart camera, frame grabber and software to inspect liquid levels in bottles. This can be used to pass/fail bottles on a production line.

Next, we watched as an Imperx Bobcat camera mounted on a tripod captured images for a highly technical-sounding process called blob analysis. I’m not joking! This process enables pharmaceutical companies to separate intact pills from broken ones. Another station verified that the pills were the right color before they were packaged.

Surveillance and Other Applications
As you might imagine, Uniforce’s precision imaging solutions also have important applications in surveillance. To illustrate, Ben and his team played images they had captured of us leaving the 42840 Christy Street building on our way to the Uniforce office for the demos. There we all were — in still-frame close-ups!

Throughout the tour, we saw images captured by Uniforce cameras in applications ranging from oceanography (a close-up of the Titanic’s propeller) and space exploration (an image of the space station, shot from a military satellite) to medicine (surgical close-ups) and nanotechnology (nano-sized cooling tubes for semiconductors). We also learned about recording systems that can operate at temperatures well below zero, and high-speed cameras that can slow down the droplets in an inkjet printer or a bullet hitting a Kevlar vest. You can see some photos from our visit in the Uniforce blog.

Don’t Miss the Next TEAM Christy Meeting
It’s said, “There’s no such thing as a free lunch.” But at TEAM Christy meetings, that’s simply not true. You get lunch and a great opportunity to network with fellow tenants in Fremont Business Park. This enables you to learn about members’ companies so you can refer business to them when appropriate — and get business referred to you in return.
