Business Growth Continues in Fairfield, CA With Several Companies Choosing to Locate in the Bay Area City
Fairfield, CA – March 02, 2009 – (RealEstateRama) — Fairfield, CA continues to attract companies despite the slow economy. Businesses are drawn to the San Francisco Bay Area city for its strategic location and affordable and readily available office space.
AAA Northern California has signed a 10-year lease for 52,000 square feet at 5251 Business Center Drive. The company will complete the move in June 2009. AAA currently has an office in Fairfield that houses the organization’s business fulfillment center operations. That office is joining with the same function out of the organization’s San Francisco headquarters. There will be 225 employees at the new Fairfield site, about 165 will be relocating from San Francisco, and about 60 will relocate from the current Fairfield site.
“Where we locate specific functions is based on what makes the most sense for the business unit and the company, and the new Fairfield location is a perfect fit,” said Matt Skryja, AAA Northern California spokesperson. “The addition of more jobs in Fairfield means not only an economic boost for the Solano County economy, but it also is the most efficient and cost-effective way to organize our work groups.”
