(NASDAQ: SPLK) executed a long-term lease for 100% of the Trust's 500 Santana Row, a 234,500 square foot, Class-A office building under construction at Santana Row on Winchester Boulevard and Olsen Drive.

The all concrete structure features 13-foot ceiling heights, a modern glass curtain wall, private terraces, private bicycle lockers and showers, and is built to a LEED Gold standard. 500 Santana Row was designed by WRNS Studio, a San Francisco-based architectural firm, and is being built by Devcon Construction, a Bay Area general contractor; both are managed by Federal Realty and its development consultant, Westwood Interests. Newmark Cornish & Carey represented Federal Realty and Splunk.
"We're delighted to welcome Splunk to the Santana Row community," stated Jan Sweetnam, Vice President-West Coast Chief Operating Officer for Federal Realty Investment Trust. "Splunk is exactly the type of leading, dynamic company that we targeted when we designed 500 Santana Row. Splunk's employees will have a tremendous work environment and will be able to take advantage of the built-in campus here at Santana Row with numerous choices for lunch, dinner, or after work socializing; a place to work-out; a broad selection of shops and services; and a hotel that accommodates meetings and overnight stays for visiting customers and vendors."
500 Santana Row augments the office space offering at Santana Row, building off of the success of the 65,000 square foot 300 Santana Row and an additional 50,000 square feet of office space located on the second floor above Santana Row's shops & restaurants. Other office tenants at Santana Row include international commercial real estate service firm DTZ, leading apartment REIT AvalonBay Communities, healthcare provider Satellite Healthcare, cloud computing security firm Elastica, medical device firm Si-Bone, credit reporting company Experian, and others.
