Its a pretty neat coincidence that the Vista Station building was build so close to the time Dell and EMC combined/acquired/merged. The building really shows off the new Dell EMC brand. I wonder if this building is the first newly built building in the two companies to be the first and only ever building to don the Dell EMC brand?
ReplyDeleteAlso curious on whether the merger will result in Dell extending or speeding up the timeline for new building being built at the Vista station.
I am in love with the pictures from the grand opening. I really liked that you shared the photos with all these details. We are also launching our new product and would like to host the promotional party at one of the local LA venues. Hope everything goes as planned.
