San Francisco
Genentech plans to double its R&D space with three new buildings at the company’s South San Francisco campus. Construction is scheduled to begin in spring 2001 on the 288,744-sf project, which will create a total of nearly 600,000 sf for research at the site. Genentech has several other construction projects under way or planned: a 60,000-sf building opening in March, with an accompanying 500-vehicle parking garage opening in May; 120,000-sf of office space at Building 6, which broke ground in late January; and a just-completed 112,000-sf office building.
