Visionary &
Responsible

Located in the heart of downtown Mountain View, 590 Castro is close to the action, an easy walk to Caltrain, and sustainable to the core.

Welcome to innovative mass timber construction — an energy-efficient, carbon-sequestering alternative to traditional concrete and steel. This Class A, LEED Gold office building prioritizes employee well-being, elevates productivity, and stands as a testament to progressive corporate responsibility.

Design
Forward

Hello, natural light and panoramic views. Workplace design gets a serious upgrade with a natural wood aesthetic, expansive window walls, and generous wrap-around terraces.

Mass timber is valued for its alignment with the principles of biophilic design, which seeks to foster a harmonious connection between humans and their environment. The seamless indoor/outdoor design isn't just a nice amenity; it's a boost for overall health, well-being, and performance.

The future of functionality is here.

Urban/Nature
Fusion

The ultimate employee perk: a fusion of abundant urban amenities with expansive green spaces.

The Castro corridor is filled with restaurants, cafes, coffee shops, wine bars, and beer gardens. Providing a welcome counterpoint, Pioneer Park and the Paseo are adjacent to the building, while Eagle Park is one block away. Urban or nature? Choose both.

Your employees will thank you.

Energy Efficient.

Mass Timber
Massively Sustainable

From the forests of British Columbia comes a sleek natural alternative — renewable mass timber designed for high quality commercial construction. The timber is sourced from an 80-year-old thriving family business.

What Is Mass Timber?

A cutting-edge natural wood product, mass timber is made by bonding layers of wood to create a material of exceptional strength and stability. It's an environmentally friendly low-carbon alternative to concrete and steel.
