Executive Summary
CBRE is pleased to market the opportunity to purchase 555 Hamilton Avenue, a fully leased ±12,897 SF office building in Downtown Palo Alto—the most walkable, transit-oriented, and amenity-rich location on the Peninsula. With only 1.85 years of weighted average lease term remaining, the property generates in-place cash flow while offering exceptional flexibility. Owner users can receive cash flow to offset carrying costs and confidently plan their future occupancy while the existing tenants fulfill their lease term. For investors, it represents a rare chance to secure core Silicon Valley real estate at an attractive basis in a submarket experiencing rapidly declining vacancy and accelerating demand, with current rents significantly below market rates.
