Gilead Sciences Corporate Campus Master Plan

The Property Owner, Gilead Sciences, proposes to amend the Vintage Park General Development Plan to increase the allowed square footage of the 17 building Gilead campus from 629,154 square feet to a total of 1,200,480 square feet in 16 buildings in order to create a new corporate campus master plan.

Applicant:  Gilead Sciences, Inc.

Location:  VINTAGE PARK – 300-368 LAKESIDE DRIVE - (APNs: 094-901-290; 094-901-300; 094-901-310; 094-901-340; 094-901-370; 094-901-380; 094-901-390; 094-901-400; 094-901-410; 094-904-290; 094-904-300; 094-904-310; 094-904-320; 094-904-330; 094-904-340), ± 40 acres of a portion of the Vintage Park business park owned by Gilead Sciences. 

The project site is bounded by E. Third Avenue to the north, Vintage Park Lake/Vintage Park Drive to the East, Bridgepointe Shopping Center/Home Depot in San Mateo to the south and Mariners Island in San Mateo to the west.

Proposal: The proposed amendments to the Vintage Park General Development plan would create a Campus Master Plan for Gilead to include uses such as: office; cafeterias; meeting spaces; laboratories; research development; pilot plant; manufacturing and a small amount of warehouse; fitness facilities; increased total number of parking spaces (at grade and in parking structures); multi-story buildings; and separate vehicular and pedestrian circulation in order to create a pedestrian-oriented campus by partially closing off Lakeside Drive to through-traffic. The proposal includes the following:

  • Redevelopment of the existing 629,154 square foot campus currently housed in 17 buildings, served by 1,993 parking stalls to a total of up to ±1,200,480 square feet in 16 buildings served by a total of 3,069 parking stalls located in a combination of at-grade parking lots and 2 parking structures.
  • The demolition of 8 of the existing 1- and 2-story office/R & D buildings and construction of 7 new buildings, including up to 3 new office buildings (between 8 -10 stories each, located on the west edge of Vintage Lake); up to 4 new laboratory research and development buildings (2 - 4 stories in height, built between existing buildings on the southern half of the site) and; a new annex built on the front of building 322.
  • Construction of parking structures including a structure located at the north end of the campus site, just south of Reef Drive designed as a 5 deck structure with a capacity to park up to 797 vehicles. A second parking structure would be located at the southeast corner of the site, behind the research buildings designed as a 3 deck structure with a capacity to park up to 518 vehicles. Visitor parking and service areas will be located adjacent to all new buildings.
  • A main truck dock located at the southeast corner of NLB -1 for deliveries to the campus with access off of the eastern portion of Lakeside Drive.
  • Building architecture consistent with the latest laboratory building at 362 Lakeside Drive, built in 2007.
  • The partial closure of Lakeside Drive and conversion of this portion of the public street to a private street and partial open space owned and maintained by Gilead Sciences.
  • An increased employee count at build-out from 1,200 (2007/estimate) up to 3,100 (10 year estimate).
