Adobe Unveils Plans for U.S. Site Growth

Adobe is growing. Over the past two years, our global employee base has grown by more than 30%. This growth includes our successful transformation to a cloud-based business, our expansion to lead the digital marketing category, and several acquisitions including advertising technology leader TubeMogul.

To position Adobe for even greater success and growth in the future, today we unveiled our plans to expand our California and Utah facilities. This is a major investment in our U.S. presence and will add capacity for approximately 5,000 employees. Through construction of the new buildings, Adobe will also be able to increase the percentage of our employees in LEED/Green-certified buildings, which currently stands at 78%.

“Our people are our most valuable assets,” said Donna Morris, executive vice president of Customer & Employee Experience at Adobe. “Expanding our facilities will allow us to hire additional talent to research and build products, serve our customers and continue to grow across virtually every part of our business. We’re moving forward on the planning and building process as quickly as we can.”

For our San Jose headquarters, we are under contract to buy additional land at 333 West San Fernando St. Once the land assessment and purchase is complete, we intend to build a fourth tower with capacity for approximately 3,000 employees.

As an early pioneer to downtown, we are excited to continue our investment in the community. Adobe was the first major technology company to invest in downtown San Jose real estate, more than 20 years ago, building urban high-rise towers on Park Ave. rather than a typical sprawling tech campus. We have since grown to 2,500 employees and 900,000 square feet. The proposed new building will more than double our San Jose employee capacity to approximately 5,500.

“We’re thrilled to see many months of work with Adobe and its partners culminate in this announcement of Adobe’s bold expansion of their global headquarters in San Jose, further enhancing Downtown’s burgeoning momentum as Silicon Valley’s urban center,” said Mayor Sam Liccardo. “We applaud Adobe for its catalytic role in driving innovation in the Valley over the last quarter century, and we thank its employees for their strong ethos of corporate responsibility which has made the company a wonderful community partner, and a global leader in sustainability.”

Specifics of our San Jose plans are still in development and we will share more details in early 2018.

We first moved into Utah when we acquired Orem-based Omniture in 2009, and we built our marquee Lehi building in 2012. We are now embarking on a “phase 2” building in Lehi, adding capacity for approximately 1,000 employees. With working space expansion within our existing Lehi building, we expect to add capacity for approximately 1,260 employees altogether.

The state of Utah has approved Adobe for a post-performance tax incentive of approximately $25.6 million to support the expansion efforts.

“Adobe has been a pivotal asset to the strategic development of Utah’s Silicon Slopes,” said Utah Gov. Gary R. Herbert. “They are an important influence in the community, and we are grateful for their continued investment in the state of Utah.”

Chairman Kubayanda Statement on PRC Budget

I appreciate the Governors’ approval of a budget but am disappointed that they declined to fund the Commission’s modest request of $22.6 million, less than .03 percent of Postal Service revenues. Most importantly, this process raised red flags about potential risks to the Commission’s independence. The Governors did acknowledge that the Commission’s total FY 2024 costs are $27.2 million. I thank the Governors for recognizing this, as it is important for the Commission’s trajectory. While the $27.2 million cited by the Governors is $1.5 million less than the Commission’s projected costs, this amount must serve as a baseline for FY 2025 and longer-term budgets funded by the Postal Service to avoid degrading the Commission’s capacity, eliminating positions in the understaffed agency, and stopping long overdue technology upgrades.
