Global Foundries U.S. has signed a lease for office space at 6220 America Center in North San Jose, according to lease documents filed November 9 in Santa Clara County. The amount of space the company leased in the building has not yet been disclosed.
Why it matters
The deal adds to a busy stretch for San Jose's office market, following Infineon's lease of 219,200 square feet at a nearby building on the same tech campus. For the local commercial real estate sector, it signals continued demand from semiconductor companies in the South Bay.
Lease documents were filed November 9 in Santa Clara County, but they do not state how much space Global Foundries rented at 6220 America Center. Infineon's comparable deal at 6001 Great America Drive covered 219,200 square feet, though the two leases are not directly comparable in size.
The players
Global Foundries U.S.
A contract manufacturer of semiconductors that operates offices in Santa Clara and North San Jose and is leasing space at 6220 America Center.
Infineon
A German semiconductor company that leased 219,200 square feet at a nearby building on the same San Jose tech campus.
The details
Global Foundries U.S., a contract manufacturer of semiconductors, has begun tenant improvements on the sixth floor of the building. The company already operates a primary corporate and engineering hub at 2600 Great America Way in Santa Clara and another office at 2870 Zanker Road in North San Jose.
Timeline
Several months before November 2026: Infineon signed its lease for 6001 Great America Drive.
July-September 2026: The South Bay office market surged in the third quarter.
November 9, 2026: Global Foundries' lease documents were filed in Santa Clara County.
Market Landscape
The Global Foundries lease follows a third-quarter surge in South Bay office leasing that the market recorded in July through September 2026. It extends that demand into North San Jose's Alviso district, where semiconductor firms are competing for space alongside Infineon's nearby 219,200-square-foot deal.
For San Jose businesses looking for office space, the lease highlights that semiconductor tenants are actively taking space in the North San Jose area, which may tighten availability in that submarket. Bill.com is also offering part of its own rented space at 6220 America Center as a sublease, which could create options for tenants seeking smaller spaces in the same building.
The takeaway
Commercial leasing in San Jose's tech corridors remains active, and tenants moving in or out of buildings like 6220 America Center can shape the availability of space for other businesses in the area.
