The developer behind a proposed life-science campus is looking for a ten-year extension for the approved entitlements at 800-890 Dubuque Avenue in South San Francisco, San Mateo County. The request comes amid a fledgling market with record-high vacancies across the region. IQHQ is the project developer.
Last week, the City of Brisbane’s proposal for the Baylands development area was opened for public review through the CEQA application page. The specific site plan, developed in partnership with the Metis Environmental Group and Environmental Science Associates, is a sweeping redevelopment of more than 680 acres along Highway 101 and the Caltrain tracks between San Francisco and South San Francisco.
Zoning changes have been approved to support a new life sciences campus at 1333 2nd Street in West Berkeley. The project will be built on the former site of Pacific Steel Casting and will involve demolishing both the old foundry and the nearby former Berkeley Forge and Tool building. The project site spans an area of 10 acres. The scope of work includes the demolition of the former Pacific Steel Casting plant that was shut down in 2018 and development of a hub for life sciences companies.
Preliminary plans have been filed for a life-science industrial project at 405 and 455 Harbor Boulevard in Belmont, San Mateo County. The proposal aims to create around 812,000 square feet of offices and parking for over a thousand cars. Beam Reach Properties is the project developer.
Design review permits have been filed for the four-story research and development space at 600 Bancroft Way in Southwest Berkeley, Alameda County. The project would bring a quarter million square feet of office space for the life science industry during a period of high vacancies but signs of optimism for prospective developers. Burlingame-based Woodstock Development is responsible for the application on behalf of the property owner, Invesco Real Estate.
