Ideas are the bread and butter of Silicon Valley and whenever it comes up with a new one, the rest of the world sits up, takes notice and buys stock. We are in the midst of the Information Age and Silicon Valley is right at the vanguard.
At Team Ardizzone & Howmiller, we witnessed the start of the dot-com boom, its collapse and its quick recovery. When combined, partners and team members Rick Ardizzone, John Howmiller and Jeff McLaughlin’s experience in Silicon Valley real estate spans more than four decades and it is the hard-earned knowledge brought about by this experience that gives the team its invaluable insights into the Valley’s various submarkets.
Many of the technological innovations we take for granted today sprung from ideas that were born and nurtured in Silicon Valley. These include everything from programmable handheld calculators to silicon crystal-growing to advances in cancer treatment.
Geographically, Silicon Valley is a large and diverse area whose boundaries are amorphous and are established more by opinion and convention than actual physical maps. Silicon Valley is simply that area south of San Francisco – also referred to locally as the South Bay – which has its heart in the northern region of the Santa Clara Valley.
There are no physical characteristics that distinguish a place within Silicon Valley from a place that isn’t. Communities within the valley can range from semi-rural, as in Saratoga and Los Gatos, to urban, as in San José.
