The largest cities in Santa Clara County by population include: San Jose, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, Mountain View, Milpitas, Palo Alto, Cupertino, Gilroy, Morgan Hill, Campbell, Los Gatos, and Saratoga.

Santa Clara County is found at the southernmost tip of the San Francisco Bay, with San Mateo County located adjacent to the northwest, Alameda County adjacent to the north, Stanislaus County bordering to the east, Merced County bordering to the southeast, and San Benito County located due south. The largest city in the County is San Jose.

For the Silicon Valley office market, total availabilities reached 17.4%, including sublease space, most of which was direct vacancy of 15.5%. For Class A space, availabilities were yet higher at 17.8%, of which 15.7% were direct vacancy. In the first quarter, net absorption was negative at 1,252,690 square feet for the market overall, with most of the negative absorption being in Class A space, comprising 935,842 square feet in lost occupancy.

Downtown San Jose indicated lower occupancy, with their direct vacancy reaching 20.0% and the total availability reaching 21.1%. Class A space was higher in vacancy at 20.4% and total availability at 21.5%. Negative net absorption was 176,441 square feet for the market of which 99,833 square feet was Class A.

The sub-market with highest vacancy was Santa Clara, also the sub-market with the second largest inventory of 15,594,822 square feet, of which their vacancy was 25.5% and total availability was 26.6%. Further north on the Peninsula, Palo Alto experienced a vacancy of 18.0 percent and total availability of 23.2%. Even higher were the Class A availabilities of 24.7%.

These trends in Santa Clara are for negative net absorption, mostly in Class A space, and with above average vacancy and availability in Class A space, both in the CBD and suburbs. This office market is seeing the lowest net absorption in 20 years. Clearly this is the result of work from home trends, rising interest rates, rising layoffs in technology employment, and the specter of an uncertain future prospects for the economy as companies prepare for a possible recession.
