"As this project progresses, we’ll continue to work closely with NASA, the community and the City of Mountain View."

NASA's Ames Research Center is just south of Google main campus, and is the owner of the wetlands this is likely to be built on. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moffett_Federal_Airfield

Moffett Airfield [1], which is operated by NASA, is right next door.

The land the buildings are being built on are leased from NASA.
