San Francisco
Britain-based Slough Estates USA is planning to develop the Britannia East Grand in South San Francisco, a 783,533-sf biotech facility designed by South San Francisco-based DES and to be built by Hathaway Dinwiddie. Pending final approval in April 2002, the $300 million project involves replacing the 100-year-old ICI paint factory with a leading-edge biotech laboratory. Slated to break ground mid-year, the project would bring Slough's South San Francisco holdings to over 2.7 million sf.
