Upscale Offices Slated Near I-80

Construction on a gated, upscale office building on Eubanks Drive in Vacaville will likely begin May 1, adding to the surge of development near the intersection of Interstates 80 and 505.
Designs for the building - which would offer nearly 33,000 square feet of office and warehouse space to small users - are currently being reviewed by the city, confirmed Michael Palombo, Vacaville's economic development manager.

"It will offer an IBM image," said John Grippi, a partner in the investment group Grupalow Grippi Owen LLC, which purchased the site in December. The firm also owns and manages the Live Oak Business Center on Cotting Lane, and a similar complex on Cotting Court.

"We like Vacaville," Grippi explained. "We like the cleanliness of the town, the developments in the downtown, and also it's a good area for housing."

The firm hopes to attract corporate users who would find those attributes attractive for their work force.
