Orchard Partners today announced the Bay Area Council has endorsed the Guadalupe Quarry Redevelopment Project, supporting plans to build an innovative and modern industrial development on a portion of the Guadalupe Quarry property near Brisbane, Calif.
“Our vision with this project has been to support environmental conservation while creating quality jobs and investing in the prosperity of Brisbane,” said Tyler Higgins, Managing Partner at Orchard Partners. “We are thrilled to have the support of the Bay Area Council and their recognition of the significant positive impacts this investment will bring both to Brisbane and the broader Bay Area region.”
“The Bay Area is the undisputed global leader for innovation. We’re excited to see new advanced manufacturing and data center capacity proposed for Brisbane and support Orchard Partners’ plans for the Guadalupe Quarry Redevelopment Project,” said Adrian Covert, Senior Vice President of Public Policy for the Bay Area Council. “This project embraces innovative industrial uses in a way uniquely tailored to the special environment of the Guadalupe Quarry and is a great example for responsible development across the region.”
Earlier this summer, Orchard Partners announced updated plans for the Guadalupe Quarry Redevelopment Project. In response to community feedback, Orchard Partners reduced the overall size of the project by 33 percent, while also qualitatively changing proposed uses. The plans propose construction of a mixed-use development, consisting of two industrial buildings totaling 890,000 square feet on separate parcels in the Guadalupe Quarry property. One building is a two-level data center building totaling 180,000 square feet, and the other is a two-level industrial building suitable for a combination of advanced manufacturing, light industrial, assembly and warehousing uses.
The project will set aside 82 acres, permanently conserving approximately 57 percent of the existing quarry property for habitat and environmental preservation. Additionally, the project will make one-time contributions of $1.8 million to fund implementation of the San Bruno Mountain Habitat Conservation Plan and more than $15 million to the City of Brisbane. The project is expected to generate and support more than 1,000 quality jobs and $1.5 million in annual revenue to the City of Brisbane.
