Foster City (CA) is already home to big office buildings. One of VISA's largest software development sites is here. During lunch time, if I am in the Metro Center, near Safeway, I see a lot of Sony employees go to lunch in that complex. I can tell they are from Sony (play station people) because they have the bright yellow badge hangers around their necks with the playstation symbols: triangle, square, circle and the X.
Now IBM is moving into the Inktomi building on top of Baja Fresh. They are going to take the entire fourth floor (which is really the first complete office floor because the others are all car parking and retail stores). There will be around 300 employees housed there. That should be good for local retail and restaurant businesses.
One interesting thing I noticed in the Metro Center is that there is a ghost IBM office in that complex. There is a list of companies/stores in front of the WaMu bank (near safeway). One of the offices listed is IBM. It is supposed to be near Curves. But if you actually go there, there is nothing there.
