After being in San Mateo’s Hayward Park neighborhood for nearly six years, data storage and analytics firm Snowflake is moving to Menlo Park this spring.
The company signed the largest lease of last year’s fourth quarter, a 773,000-square-foot campus on Constitution Drive.
“The Menlo Park office will give us room to grow, as well as give our Bay Area employees an amazing environment in which they can do their best work,” Warrick Taylor, vice president of Workplace and Real Estate at Snowflake, said in an email, adding the new property will accommodate its “continued growth in the years to come.”
Mayor Rob Newsom said he is disappointed the city is losing an established technology company in the city but hopes another suitable tenant will fill the space on Concar Drive.
“It’s a bummer,” he said. “But I hope we find another tech company and make it known that San Mateo is open for business. It’s unfortunate we’re losing them, but we’ll make room for the next company.”
While the current 210,000-square-foot location — situated nearly adjacent to the Hayward Park Caltrain station — currently houses about 1,600 employees, the new campus consists of four buildings and will be able to accommodate significantly more people.
Among other amenities, Taylor said the new campus will include “a state-of-the-art business training facility, an expanded Customer Experience Center, a full-service gym, extensive cafe with indoor and outdoor seating, more meeting and training rooms, plenty of EV, bike and car parking, and proximity to Bayfront Park, with lots of walking, cycling and dog walking trails right alongside the Bay.”
The company currently operates on a hybrid work model. Before locating on Concar Drive, Snowflake was in downtown San Mateo on Ellsworth Avenue.
Newsom said he hopes the city can maintain close relationships with its large firms, especially since the city was also “caught off guard” when news of the Marriott Hotel closure surfaced. Oracle, the Austin, Texas-based firm, previously headquartered in Redwood City, sold the property last year.
“It’s always a good thing for us to make sure we are talking more to everyone, because we hear a lot from small businesses, but we don’t always hear from the top five to 10 big companies in San Mateo, so we want to make sure we hear from them,” he said.

TBot - I was wrong. Even Snowflakes like bike lanes.
This is what Denver's head of the city’s downtown business association has learned:
"The single biggest obstacle to recruiting tech workers to Denver is its lack of good bike lanes."

Slowly but surely it should start sinking in in San Mateo County, that tech companies full of young people aren't necessary all about the car-monoculture Mayor Rob Newsom and Diane Papan have been favoring. Here is the important sentence Rob Newsom Jr., Adam Loraine, Lisa Diaz Nash, Danielle Cwirko-Godycki, Nicole Fernandez absolutely cannot compete with:
"... plenty of EV, bike and car parking, and proximity to Bayfront Park, with lots of walking, cycling and dog walking trails right alongside the Bay.”
Menlo Park is much more in tune with safer neighborhoods, Safe-Routes-To-School, greater schools. They have real bike lanes due to a wonderful overnight parking ordinance, where everyone is in charge of storing their own property on their own property. It works for over 60 years now and residents love it. But the rest of San Mateo creates one high-density, car-sewer neighborhood after another.

Mountain View, Alameda, Emeryville, Berkeley, Fremont seem to have recognized this. San Mateo County as a whole has no answer and lots of empty office to show for.
