San Jose anchors the heart of Silicon Valley, with a metro population nearing 2 million as of 2024. The region’s economy is centered on the tech sector, with major employers including Apple, Google, Meta, and Nvidia. Though tech layoffs slowed the market in 2023, recovery signs emerged in Q1 2025 as rent growth turned positive and occupancy held above 95%. Construction remains concentrated in transit-accessible submarkets like Santa Clara and Mountain View. With limited new starts and rebounding confidence, investor sentiment is cautiously optimistic.
