City of Mountain View, California Seeking Hotel Developer 
for City-owned Land in the Silicon Valley
Mountain View, California - On March 16, 2001, the City of Mountain View, California will formally invite hotel developers to respond to a request for qualifications (RFQ) to lease and develop up to 14.4 acres of City-owned land in the heart of Silicon Valley. The City of Mountain View�s objective in leasing the site is to become the home of a full-service, four-star hotel.   Based upon the qualifications submitted by respondents to the RFQ, the City will invite a handful of development teams to submit detailed proposals.  A pre-submittal conference will be held at City Hall on April 4, 2001.

Over the last decade, Mountain View has become a magnet for leading technology companies, which regularly book conference space and hotel rooms for meetings and trainings.  Many high profile companies have their headquarters in Mountain View, such as Intuit, Verisign, Veritas, Alza and SGI. Recently joining the ranks of prominent companies with a Mountain View presence is Microsoft Corporation, which chose the City as its Silicon Valley �headquarters.�
 
Mountain View will offer guests of a new four-star hotel an impressive array of amenities.  The development site is less than one-half mile from the edge of San Francisco Bay and adjacent to Shoreline Regional Park, featuring a Robert Trent Jones II-designed golf course, a sailing lake, quality restaurants, and miles of hiking trails spread over 700 acres.  Nearby, Downtown Mountain View, anchored by a 600-seat performing arts center, offers wide sidewalks lined with outdoor cafes and restaurants. 

The development site, known as Charleston East, is located at the northwest corner of Charleston Road and North Shoreline Boulevard in Mountain View.  More information is available by visiting the City�s Internet location.
