Located in the heart of downtown Palo Alto, 165 University has become known as Silicon Valley’s “Lucky Building.†The Amidi Group purchased the property following the early success of Medallion Rug Gallery, the Amidi Group’s Persian rug import and export company well-known to the local community, but 165 University quickly grew a reputation of its own. 165 University is proud to have been an early home to startups such as Google, PayPal, Logitech and Danger, which were operated by world-class technology and entrepreneurial minds including Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Marissa Mayer, Peter Thiel and more. While the building may not be the Amidi Group’s largest holding, its importance cannot be understated.
