Gateway of Pacific Phase 2

As the next chapter in the development of South San Francisco’s premier biotechnology campus, Gateway of Pacific Phase 2 sets a striking architectural tone along Gateway Boulevard. Located directly south of Phase 1, this phase introduces a 9-level, core-and-shell life science research facility designed to foster innovation, collaboration, and flexibility for future tenant needs.

This phase establishes a sculptural, high-performance tower that integrates seamlessly into the campus’s people-centric master plan. The building’s design allows for open, adaptable lab and office space, tailored to evolving scientific research and workplace requirements. Enhanced landscaping along the perimeter ties into a central park and adjacent amenities, reinforcing wellness and connectivity.

Project Features:

• 9-level laboratory/office tower with 1 basement level, designed to look like two buildings
• LEED® Gold certification for sustainable design and occupant wellness
• Located adjacent to an 8-level parking structure with 2 levels below grade
• Expansive outdoor plaza and site infrastructure connecting to Phase 1
