====Downtown development====

In November 2009, previously closed portions of the main streets in downtown Sunnyvale were reopened as part of the ongoing downtown redevelopment of the [[Sunnyvale Town Center]] mall, marking the first time in over three decades that those street blocks have been open to vehicle and pedestrian traffic. Part of the project involved building new apartment buildings, however during the [[Great Recession]] the property was repossessed by [[Wells Fargo]] in 2009; the developer countersued, leaving the project in legal limbo through 2015.<ref>{{Cite web|first=Nathan|last=Donato-Weinstein|url=https://www.bizjournals.com/sanjose/news/2015/08/13/sunnyvale-town-center-officially-for-sale-as.html|title=Sunnyvale Town Center officially for sale as litigation cloud lifts|date=August 13, 2015|access-date=October 23, 2021|work=[[The Business Journals]]|archive-date=February 27, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210227040140/https://www.bizjournals.com/sanjose/news/2015/08/13/sunnyvale-town-center-officially-for-sale-as.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

The two office buildings are now fully occupied by [[Uber]]. Mixed-use developments have been built at the former Town and Country location near the Plaza del Sol just north of Murphy Avenue. By mid 2015, new multistory apartment complexes had opened, including a number of ground-floor businesses, and the lawsuit against Wells Fargo was resolved in the bank's favor. The development was sold to Sares Regis in late 2016.<ref>{{Cite web|first=Bryce|last=Druzin|url=https://www.bizjournals.com/sanjose/news/2016/09/29/sunnyvale-town-center-deal-closes-for-100-million.html|title=Sunnyvale Town Center deal closes for $100 million|date=September 29, 2016|access-date=October 23, 2021|work=[[The Business Journals]]|archive-date=December 31, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211231163107/https://www.bizjournals.com/sanjose/news/2016/09/29/sunnyvale-town-center-deal-closes-for-100-million.html|url-status=live}}</ref> Redwood Square reopened as a park in 2017.<ref>{{Cite web|first=Victoria|last=Kezra|url=https://www.mercurynews.com/2017/11/27/redwood-square-opens-in-downtown-sunnyvale/|title=Redwood Square opens in downtown Sunnyvale|date=November 27, 2017|access-date=October 23, 2021|work=[[The Mercury News]]|archive-date=October 26, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211026113307/https://www.mercurynews.com/2017/11/27/redwood-square-opens-in-downtown-sunnyvale/|url-status=live}}</ref> Many apartments are occupied, and more are being completed in 2020.
