Some of the larger office tenants in Brisbane are Cutera Inc., Dolby, [[Tercica]], [[Sing Tao News Corporation|Sing Tao]], and Intermune. [[Monster Cable Products]] and [[bebe stores]] (traditionally spelled in lowercase) are headquartered in Brisbane on Valley Drive. The Sierra Point office park area is home to a number of well-known [[class A office space|class A office buildings]] like the [[Dakin Building]].<ref>Judges praise innovative ideas, San Francisco Examiner, Page F-6, January 12, 1992 </ref> Universal Paragon's proposed {{convert|659|acre|km2|adj=on}} [[Brisbane Baylands development|Brisbane Baylands]] project, if approved by Brisbane voters, proposes to more than double the existing employment base of the city by providing new office, research & development, retail, hotel and other land uses that are accessible by a proposed multi-modal transit station (Caltrain, Muni T-Third light rail and proposed Bus Rapid Transit).<ref name="San Jose Mercury News, 2011-02-11">[http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_17388401?IADID=Search-www.mercurynews.com-www.mercurynews.com Universal Paragon unveils ambitious plan for Brisbane Baylands - San Jose Mercury News].
