Intel’s 107,000-sq-ft Santa Clara buildout: what city documents show
NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 20:59 ET Intel is seeking Santa Clara approval to build two new structures totaling 107,171 square feet at its Bowers campus, according to city project documents. The proposal lands as Intel leans into manufacturing investment and a broader turnaround under Chief Executive Lip-Bu Tan, while competing for advanced production against rivals such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co and Samsung Electronics. It also underscores the infrastructure demands of chipmaking in Silicon Valley, where large industrial projects can hinge on power and cooling capacity. The plans include a dedicated central utility building to support the manufacturing equipment.
