Sunnyvale celebrates new era of downtown developments

City officials, local real estate leaders and residents gathered at Redwood Square Wednesday afternoon to celebrate the reopening of the renovated one-acre public park.

Historic Redwood trees and shiny-new buildings are now towering over downtown Sunnyvale, marking the near-completion of a decades-long city plan to revitalize the area.

City officials, local real estate leaders and residents gathered at Redwood Square Wednesday afternoon to celebrate the reopening of the renovated one-acre public park, which includes several trees, a grassy patch and rectangular waterfall.

The square is part of the Cityline block, a 36-acre site bounded by South Mathilda and Sunnyvale Avenues and Washington and Iowa Avenues that includes The Martin, which has 479-luxury apartment units housed in a 12-story high building and two seven-story office spaces. Both complexes were completed earlier this year. Cityline is an alliance of real estate firms Hunter Partners of Cupertino and Sares Regis Group of Northern California of San Mateo.
