The Quarry Innovation Center

About the Project

The Guadalupe Quarry, near Brisbane, California, has supplied rock and aggregate materials for construction projects for more than 130 years.

The Quarry Innovation Center, formerly known as the Guadalupe Quarry Redevelopment Project, proposes to close the quarry and build an innovative advanced manufacturing facility within the already-disturbed area of the quarry property, conserving 82 acres, or 57 percent, of the quarry property as permanently protected open space.

The project proposes 100% advanced manufacturing and will NOT include a data center.

Without the project, mining activity on San Bruno Mountain will continue and could increase for at least another 30 years.

Developed by Orchard Partners, the Quarry Innovation Center supports environmental conservation while creating quality jobs, investing in local services and infrastructure and meeting demand for facilities to support the renaissance of manufacturing taking place in the Bay Area.
