Former HomeGrocer and Teledesic HQ

teledesic2This swanky office and warehouse felt the tech boom and bust like no other property in the region, as the former home not only of HomeGrocer but also, at different points, of ShareBuilder and Craig McCaw’s Teledesic — which oversaw an upscale remodel of the interior, adding a huge mezzanine space and high-end amenities.

During the dot-com boom, the property was one in a succession of locations occupied by HomeGrocer, The online grocer raised $245 million in a major initial public offering, before ultimately sold to rival Webvan — which later filed for bankruptcy.

McCaw’s current wireless venture, Clearwire, expanded into the space in early 2010. (Photos courtesy CB Richard Ellis broker Joe Baldwin.)
