South San Francisco — South San Francisco has a large mixed-use development located next to a BART station, and a transportation-oriented project has received final city approval.
Southline, a project being developed in partnership with Bay Area developer Lane Partners and the real estate arm of Wall Street giant Goldman Sachs, will bring modern office and life sciences buildings to South San Francisco. prize.
Upon completion, the project will consist of 2.8 million square feet of office, research, and laboratory space at 30 Tanforan Ave. in South San Francisco and will be built next to the San Bruno BART Station.
Due to its location so close to San Bruno, the project required the approval of the mayors of both South San Francisco and San Bruno.
Marcus Gilmore, Principal Executive of Menlo Park-based Lane Partners, said:
The project is being built in phases, but Southline will eventually consist of seven buildings when fully developed.
The first phase will include two office and research buildings totaling 650,000 square feet.
A partnership between Lane Partners and the Goldman Sachs unit has reached a development agreement with the South San Francisco City Authority, with the two companies providing the municipality with $25 million in regional benefits.
The project also includes a central park called Southline Commons, Lane Partners said. The park has pedestrian streets, outdoor meeting and gathering spaces, dining areas, recreation and event spaces, a food truck ranch, a beer garden, and electric vehicle charging stations.
The offices will be sold to technology and life sciences companies. Newmark, a commercial real estate firm, looks for tenants to fill the space.
A large amenity building will be constructed as part of the first phase of the Southline project.
“Southline tenants will have exclusive use of the fitness and wellness center,” said Lane Partners.
The public has also been invited to participate in the development’s suite of amenities, according to the real estate firm.
“The restaurant and food service area, the bike barn and outdoor seating, and the plaza area will be open to both tenants and the public,” said Lane Partners.
