The project will include two 100,000-square foot office buildings and a residential building with 183 units of 1-, 2- and 3-bedrooms (including 20 units classified as affordable). Retail is located along the ground floors. There is also a two-level underground parking garage.

A number of new development projects are under construction or approved in Menlo Park. This article highlights Springline as one of the largest upcoming additions to the area.

777 Industrial Road, a life science development, was approved for construction in San Carlos’ growing East Side Innovation District, receiving strong praise from the city’s Planning Commission for its design features and preservation of some of the existing building’s infrastructure.

Cyrus Sanandaji joins Real Perspectives Podcast to talk about Presidio Bay Ventures' latest project in Menlo Park, Springline.

Other life science hubs in the Bay Area are also attracting new development. A joint venture between Presidio Bay Ventures and Kinship Capital acquired 777 Industrial Rd. with plans to redevelop the property into a 123,000-square-foot class-A life science building located within one of the Bay Area’s fastest growing life science clusters.

Springline named in San Francisco Business Time's 'The List' for the Largest Peninsula Construction Projects.

The winning office of tomorrow, says K. Cyrus Sanandaji, founder at Presidio Bay Ventures, has “outdoor space, large intercommunicating stairs, modern mechanical equipment with enhanced filtration, touchless access controls.”

Inspired by the industrial and cultural crossroads of San Francisco’s historic SoMa district, The Quinn’s boutique studios and one-, two- and three-bedroom condos strategically combine architecture and art by incorporating large specially commissioned murals by the artist KFiSH throughout the living spaces.

“When we talk about art being an integral part of the identity of the project and the design of the project in a truly holistic way, that's what we mean,” Sanandaji said. “The art, in this case, informed the whole building identity, the whole building design. And it was reciprocal in that sense. Every project is unique. It's an organic process. It's not something that we try to impose on a project in a clinical way. What makes the integration of art and architecture in our projects unique and interesting is this organic expression that evolves as the design evolves.”

Together, KFiSH and Presidio Bay Ventures, along with RG Architecture, worked carefully on a concept for The Quinn’s design. The resulting scheme, dubbed “Controlled Chaos,” arose from the process KFiSH uses to produce his art.

Presidio Bay Ventures has locked in its first two office tenants at Springline, the new 6.4-acre mixed-use development in Menlo Park. These include the sustainable workspace company, CANOPY, which will occupy approximately 20,000 square feet of the property at its southern office building, while Symphony Technology Group (STG), a private equity firm, will be relocating to new offices also at Springline’s South building.

Gantry has secured an $80,000,000 construction loan on behalf of Presidio Bay Ventures for the development of the Ventana Residences in San Francisco. The 193-unit family-centric residential project sits on a 0.93 acre opportunity zone site at 99 Ocean Avenue in the Mission Terrace neighborhood.
