02Deal summary

The rationale

An 800,000 SF life-science/R&D entitlement on nearly 12 acres in a live biotech corridor signals a major demand anchor — competing or adjacent sites should be repositioned now before Gilead locks up labor and infrastructure capacity.

Foster City is amending the Zoning Map and General Development Plan for the ~11.87-acre Chess Hatch Master Plan site to remove office as a primary use and allow up to 800,000 SF of biotechnology or R&D uses, facilitating the Gilead Campus Expansion Project in the C-M/PD district.
