The Alphabet-owned company picked a popular Lakewood shopping area for its new headquarters.
LAKEWOOD, Colo. — Google Fiber, the high-speed internet infrastructure arm of Google, unveiled its new Colorado headquarters in Lakewood’s Belmar Plaza last week.
The Alphabet-owned company (Nasdaq: GOOGL), which goes by GFiber, opened the 13,000-square-foot office at 439 Upham St. and 7244 W. Bonfils Lane on Monday. GFiber chose Lakewood because of its strong relationships with the economic development, public works and leadership staff, the company said in a press release.
“We’re really excited to be part of the Lakewood community,” said Alberto Garcia, GFiber’s government and community affairs manager for Colorado, Idaho and Utah, in a press release. “Lakewood was our first city, it was the first place we signed, it’s the first place we’re serving customers, and now it’s going to be our home.”
