Facebook Quietly Leases Nearly 700,000 SQFT on the Eastside

Late in December of 2017, a relatively unnoticeable transaction in Redmond took place, where Facebook purchased two high tech/flex office buildings for $20 million. The seller of the property was Redmond-based Crane Aerospace Inc., the parent organization of Crane Aerospace and Electronics, and the buildings they sold totaled just over 72,000 square feet. This sale was just a glimpse into the activities that the social media giant has been undertaking on the Eastside, as it has been steadily growing across the Puget Sound region.
