Databricks Accelerates Bay Area Growth with New Office in Sunnyvale
SAN FRANCISCO, July 24, 2025 /CNW/ -- Databricks, the Data and AI company, today continues its rapid growth in the San Francisco Bay Area with the expansion into a new 305,000 square foot office in downtown Sunnyvale. This state-of-the-art office is designed to support the company's accelerated hiring efforts in light of its South Bay R&D team doubling over the past two years, with projections to double again over the next two years, even as the company aggressively leverages its own platform and AI to deliver new products faster. This rapid growth is fueled by increasing enterprise demand for the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform, underscoring the company's pivotal role in powering data and AI innovation.
Located at 200 West Washington, this strategic location in Sunnyvale allows Databricks to deepen partnerships with its many South Bay customers, including Adobe, Barracuda Networks, Cisco, Intuit, McAfee, Netgear and NVIDIA, while also positioning the company to reach new customers. This new space will be essential for fostering stronger collaboration and empowering Databricks' product and engineering teams to deliver innovative AI solutions for the region's leading enterprises.
This news builds on recent Databricks Bay Area momentum. In March, the company announced a new headquarters at One Sansome Street, committed $1 billion to its San Francisco operations over the next three years, and confirmed a five-year extension of its Data + AI Summit in San Francisco, underscoring Databricks' enduring dedication to the broader Bay Area as the world's AI capital.
"Silicon Valley has always been at the heart of technological innovation, and this expansion in Sunnyvale marks an exciting new chapter for Databricks," said Reynold Xin, Co-founder and Chief Architect at Databricks. "This investment will accelerate our pace of research and product development, deepen our collaboration with customers, and help us attract the best minds to push the boundaries of what's possible with data and AI."
"Our expansion into Sunnyvale is about more than adding office space — it's a strategic investment in the exceptional talent driving the future of AI," said Amy Reichanadter, Chief People Officer at Databricks. "At Databricks, people come to do meaningful, high-impact work, and this expansion is a further investment in fostering the culture of innovation and collaboration that sets us apart."
Databricks will move into its new Sunnyvale office in late 2026. The company's expanded presence in Sunnyvale will open up a variety of roles across all functions. For more information about career opportunities at Databricks, please visit the Databricks Careers page.

Small Canadian exporters are covering cost of U.S. tariffs: CFIB urges government to release retaliatory tariff revenue if trade deal not reached by Friday Français
TORONTO , July 29, 2025 /CNW/ - Most small businesses are absorbing some or all of the costs associated with U.S. tariffs, according to new data by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB). With a deadline for a new trade deal looming on August 1 , CFIB is calling on Ottawa to release Canada's retaliatory tariff revenues to support small businesses. On imports from the U.S., nearly seven in 10 small businesses paid the full Canadian tariff, with the median cost of $9,000 . On exports, 63% covered costs directly or shared them with their U.S. customers, paying a median of $25,000 . "It is clear that most small exporters have had to eat much of the cost of U.S. tariffs in order to keep their American customers," said Dan Kelly , CFIB president. Ottawa has collected billions in additional tariff revenue on U.S. imports compared to last year. "If no deal is reached by Friday, Canada must immediately return the revenue collected from our counter tariffs to small businesses to help them weather the ongoing harm and massive economic uncertainty," Kelly said. "Many have been holding out, delaying critical decisions hoping for enough certainty to plan for the future. Without an immediate deal, many are facing some terrible choices, including laying off key workers." CFIB has sent a letter to the federal government, urging it to consider several options to providing financial relief to businesses. These include a rebate program for affected businesses, a temporary reduction in the small business tax rate from 9% to 0% or lowering Employment Insurance premiums for employers. CFIB's latest petition , which has 10,000 signatures, also calls on Ottawa to deal with unfinished business and lower the costs of doing business. "So far, the federal government's announced support measures and tariff exemptions have fallen short of bringing desperately needed cost relief," said Corinne Pohlmann , Executive Vice-President of Advocacy at CFIB. "We also hope that the government will take a careful look at its counter-tariff plans when negotiations conclude. Although small businesses have been supportive of Canada's counter-tariffs while discussions are under way, ongoing tariffs would have permanent consequences on small businesses and the broader Canadian economy." Methodology Final results for the Your Voice July survey. The online survey was conducted online July 10-24 , number of respondents = 2,090. For comparison purposes, a probability sample with the same number of respondents would have a margin of error of at most +/- 2.14%, 19 times out of 20.
