By leveraging the market, YesVeideo achieved extremely low rents in an ideal facility. Furthermore, at SSC’s advising, YesVideo considered this Santa Clara site, partially due to the lower electrical costs in the city. • Archstone-Smith [NYSE: ASN]: Archstone-Smith, one of the largest apartment investment and operating companies in the U.S. with a market capitalization of approximately $11 billion, until recently, had its Bay Area headquarters in Hayward.
