Mountain View officials approved Google's plan to expand into 153 acres of adjoining properties, making it the largest development project in the city's history.
Google has already transformed Mountain View and made it a major player in Silicon Valley, but the company has bigger plans and has been working with the city on an expansion plan for 10 years.
The 30-year Google North Bayshore Master Plan aims to have 7,000 units, including 15% affordable housing and more than 3 million square feet of office space. It will also include 26 acres of public parks, 525 hotel rooms, a new school and new streets. Mayor Alison Hicks said the project passed unanimously by the council is designed to be"car light," with mass transit and nearby homes.Google in a statement to NBC Bay Area thanked the city and said it plans to turn a car-centric area into a vibrant neighborhood with parks, restaurants, services, jobs and much needed housing.
The president of the Santiago Villa Residents Association is confident it will happen, saying Google and Mountain View have kept the park and other stakeholders in the loop with updates, as well as making sure the project has many aspects that benefit the community. Google's expansion project will be done in eight phases, with housing as well as parks in the first one.This article tagged under:

EU regulators order Google to break up digital ad business over competition concernsEuropean Union antitrust regulators are taking aim at Google’s lucrative digital advertising business, ordering the tech giant to sell off some of its ad business to address competition concerns. The European Commission said Wednesday that its preliminary view after an investigation is that “only the mandatory divestment by Google of part of its services” would satisfy the concerns. The European Union has led the global movement to crack down on Big Tech companies but rather than splitting up businesses it has previously issued blockbuster fines. That includes three antitrust penalties for Google worth more than 8 billion euros, now $8.6 billion.
