The SiliconX Story: Even Better Service for Customers

January 17, 2012 By Silicon X Construction

Borelli Investment Company has an almost unmatched history of providing top-quality service to customers in commercial real estate in the Santa Clara Valley. Founded in 1955, the company knows the Valley better than anyone and has long provided truly personalized attention on a variety of services such as property and asset management, brokerage, sophisticated land sales and repositioning, investment syndication, and court-appointed receiverships.

Building A Totally New Construction Company

Borelli has also been an innovator in property renovation and conversion to commercial or office condos as well as ground-up construction and development.

While the third-party contractors Borelli has used in the past have worked hard, conflicting priorities for these general contractors have sometimes impacted schedules and other aspects of the process.

Building a New Construction Company

As Borelli enters 2012, that has all changed with the introduction of Borelli’s affiliated contractor, SiliconX Construction. SiliconX will provide extensive services in four key areas:

•   Tenant improvements, ranging from micro-offices of 300 sq. ft. or less to 500,000 sq. ft. or more.

•   Major renovations, like those Borelli managed at Junction Office Center and Fremont Business Park.

•   Ground-up construction for any type of facility or construction method.

•   Facilities maintenance, carrying on the Borelli tradition of being highly responsive and delivering excellent value for the money.

 

Great People Working Side-by-Side

SiliconX Construction is led by Tony Gonzalez, a Borelli employee who brings more than 30 years in construction and general contracting to his new position — including over 15 years as a superintendent with a major contractor based in Silicon Valley.

Tony Gonzalez Directs Planning at Club Auto Sport Phase II

Tony’s experience is amazingly diverse — he’s worked on chip manufacturing facilities, aerospace plants, multiplex movie theaters, and all kinds of office, commercial and retail space — including Club Auto Sport, the specialty office and event center and club for car enthusiasts. He has experience with clean rooms and processing piping as well as standard tenant improvements, and has built multi-million dollar, multi-story office and commercial buildings.

SiliconX project managers work in the same offices as Borelli’s property managers. This allows for unique partnerships in addressing the needs of tenants for prompt, efficient facilities maintenance with minimal business disruptions. SiliconX’s dedicated facilities technicians can do it all—from repairing a door or window or addressing a plumbing issue to handling grounds maintenance or even upgrading exterior lighting to energy-efficient LCD lights. The team will even assist with furniture moves, if desired.

Club Auto Sport Phase II Groundbreaking

For new construction, SiliconX has a broad array of skills — in site selection, land acquisition and design; in budgeting, bidding, planning, and permits; and in zoning, entitlements and regulatory approvals — not to mention construction services.

Get to Know SiliconX Construction Better

Because many of the people at SiliconX are people you may have known through Borelli Investment Company, SiliconX is like an old friend with a lot of new capabilities. The bottom line is even better service for customers.

All Green Lights at Groundbreaking for Club Auto Sport Phase II

Ralph Borelli and John Davis Speak at Club Auto Sport Phase II Groundbreaking

San Jose, Calif., December 27, 2011 — Club Auto Sport — the unique business and event center as well as a high-end club for automobile and motor sports enthusiasts — had a lot to celebrate Thursday night in North San Jose. While Club Auto Sport’s growing roster of more than 40 businesses operating within the facility’s vibrant, vital business community celebrated the season in the club, a group of executives from SiliconX Construction, Borelli Investment Company, Borelli Motor Sports, Goodies Speed Shop, TMFC, Silicon Valley Chamber of Commerce and of course, Club Auto Sport gathered to turn over the first shovel of dirt at the groundbreaking for Club Auto Sport Phase II.

Located behind the main building, the 33,000 sq. ft. Club Auto Sport Phase II building will bring the complex to a total of 120,000 sq. ft. of space and be anchored by Goodies Speed Shop — which has provided speed and performance parts and services to hobbyist-owners of American “muscle” cars and other high-performance vehicles, as well as hot rodders and drag racers, from its current location on Lincoln Avenue near West San Carlos in San Jose since 1962. Goodies has signed a lease to move into five business condo units in the new building totaling approximately 8,200 sq. ft.

The Traditional Gold Shovels Kicked Off Club Auto Sport Phase II

“The groundbreaking for phase II is a testament to the persistence and hard work of Club Auto Sports’ managing partners and staff,” said Tom Purtell, Chief Operating Officer of SiliconX Construction, which is the general contractor for the building. “While the national economy has been stuck in reverse for much of the past three and a half years since the club opened, Club Auto Sport has accelerated ahead and adapted to a changed market. It devised a winning strategy that has enabled the original building to reach approximately 90% occupancy. We’re excited to be part of the next phase at Club Auto Sport.”

The groundbreaking began with brief remarks from Ralph Borelli, a Co-Managing Partner at Club Auto Sport and President of Borelli Motor Sports; John Davis, a Co-Managing Partner at Club Auto Sport and President of TMFC; Richard French, President of Goodies Speed Shop; Purtell, and District 9 San Jose City Councilman, Donald Rocha — who’s been a Club Auto Sport enthusiast since it opened in mid-2008 — spoke about how the club’s success underscores that government’s role should be accommodating and supportive — letting innovative private business leaders find workable solutions to market challenges.

After that, it was time to bring out the traditional golden shovel. Councilman Rocha; Purtell; Borelli; Buddy Parsons, President of Borelli Investment Company; Davis and French did the honors while several hundred guests looked on.

The group then moved indoors into Borelli Motor Sports’ spacious facility to enjoy hors d’oeuvres and their favorite libations created by Coconuts Caribbean Restaurant & Bar in Palo Alto and planned by Kristina Epidendio of Simply Stunning Weddings & Events. The Christmas music played on steel drums lent an island holiday flavor to the gathering.

Club Auto Sport Phase II Groundbreaking Ceremony

Unlike typical groundbreakings, this one didn’t end after a half hour or so — but instead gained momentum as the guests joined with Club Auto Sport’s holiday revelers and partied on into the night throughout the club’s business community and car condos.

The concrete tilt-up Club Auto Sport Phase II building is scheduled for completion — weather permitting — by the end of March 2012. Tony Gonzalez, SiliconX Construction’s Director of Construction Operations, will oversee the process.
