With over 675 businesses occupying over 7 million square feet and an additional 5,600 residents on its 875 acres, Hacienda is the largest mixed-use development of its kind in Northern California. Hacienda is a hub of activity with a number of new companies arriving and new projects in the works. Fortunately, there is a great resource that keeps track of everything going on in the park, online all the time, right at your fingertips: the Hacienda web site at www.hacienda.org.

Hacienda’s web site provides you with details on all things Hacienda and a one-stop-resource for the Special Offers programs, including free WHEELS transit passes, as well as discounts to local businesses, Hacienda PULSE news, commute assistance, and information on housing, childcare, recreation, security, and more.

Tools Provide Answers

A wealth of information can be accessed by selecting items under The Location tab. This allows access to a drop-down menu with many different choices: Project Overview, Property Profiles, Business Locator and Special Offers.

The Project Overview section is packed with information. Discover Hacienda by selecting Project Overview from The Location tab off any Hacienda page. The Description section covers details like a Hacienda map, land uses, construction, and valuation. Choose Economy for occupancy, development, and sales news, or check out the Location and Demographic section detailed information grouped by region. Infrastructure will supply on the park’s robust delivery systems for data and telecommunications, power, and water. The Sustainability link includes information on Hacienda’s efficient and sustainable use of resources like air, water, and energy, proper waste recycling and disposal, and green design and operations resources.

If you are looking for a detailed breakdown of the characteristics of a particular Hacienda facility, you will find another useful feature under The Location menu: the Property Profiles section. This area of the site provides a way to learn about park properties and filter information in a variety of ways with the results displayed on an interactive park map. At any time you can select a property from the map and view a detailed profile of the property. Profiles include a list of that facility’s tenants, project characteristics, total and available square footage, and a way to contact both the site property manager and broker.

Each month, Hacienda collects and posts new offerings for our community. A complete listing appears on all the Special Offers pages found under the The Location menu at www.hacienda.org. Hacienda residents and employees are eligible for discounts at both local and regional attractions, sporting events, and special activities. Local discounts include savings for a number of popular Bay Area attractions. For travels out of the Bay Area, discounts are also available for many popular vacation spots in the Los Angeles, San Diego, and Central Valley areas. Whether its reduced admissions to theme parks and entertainment, terrific savings on sporting events, or simply a great discount or coupons for local restaurants and services, Hacienda has an offer that fits the bill. Hacienda businesses interested in making a special offer available to the Hacienda community are invited to contact the Hacienda Owners Association at (925) 734-6500 or to submit their offer online using the form in the Special Offers section. Hacienda’s Special Offers discounts are routinely distributed through information packages and special promotions and present an excellent opportunity to reach the thousands of employees and residents who make Hacienda their home.

The Business Locator, found under the Location tab, also uses a custom map to help you find specific businesses in the park, specific industry segments, or even new tenants. To use it, begin by selecting Business Locator from the tools menu, which will present you with a custom search field and the option to filter results by business type or business name, or to search only new park tenants. If you were looking for Simpson Manufacturing, for example, you would simply enter “Simpson” in the search field. For a broader search, for all the biomedical companies in Hacienda for instance,  users can leave the search field blank, filter by “Business Type” in the drop-down menu, and then select “Biomedical” in the new menu that appears. It is all at your fingertips!
