Report: Google Has Room For 30,000 New Hires

Mountain View cannot contain Google.

So the company has offices in Redwood City, Sunnyvale, and is looking to add even more office space, despite having room already in the Bay Area to hire an additional 30,000 workers, according to reports.

Bay Area News Group reports that Google's recent real estate moves in Redwood City and Sunnyvale give it a stock of "dozens of buildings across a wide swath of the South Bay."

Google first expanded beyond its Mountain View base in 2011, including a lease for 1.9 million square feet of office space in Sunnyvale that could be the biggest in California "in at least 15 years," the newspaper reported. Its Redwood City complex is at 934,000 square feet.

The company did not disclose what it paid for either, but Google did confirm that it plans to be the tenant for both, according to the newspaper.

Google has 55,000 employees worldwide. Real estate "insiders" say that with its current office space, Google plans to hire 5,000 workers a year "for at least the next five years," the newspaper reported.

There could be room for another 5,000 workers at a 1-million square foot space at NASA Ames Research Center, according to the paper.
