SF Gate: Family finally leases property so Google can make its village a reality

SF Gate: Family finally leases property so Google can make its village a reality. “Google has finally acquired the remaining piece of property it needed to realize its vision for a bespoke village near its Mountain View headquarters. The Molinari-Martinelli family has leased its 1 acre of land to the tech giant for 35 years for around $3 million, as first reported by the Silicon Valley Business Journal, with an option to extend and potentially buy the property should it become available. The family held on to the property for years as Google continued to acquire land surrounding its offices in a quest to remake the area into a small village that would include homes, retail, hotels, parks and a school.”
