The newly awarded entitlements provide Healthpeak the ability to deliver an additional 1.3 million square feet of lab space, bringing the combined campus to approximately 1.7 million square feet upon full buildout. These entitlements represent double the allowable density compared to when Healthpeak originally acquired the land. The long-term nature of the entitlements offers flexibility to deliver the balance of the development in phases to align with market demand.

Strategically located in the heart of South San Francisco and at the doorstep of Genentech’s headquarters, the 20-acre purpose-built lab campus offers tenants a highly amenitized, world-class campus setting with access to multiple modes of transportation including direct access to the Rails-to-Trails pathway, which provides a pedestrian connection to downtown South San Francisco's restaurant and retail corridor, as well as the Caltrain station, which recently completed a multi-year renovation.

“Inspired by our success at The Cove and other nearby campuses, the Vantage master plan is a continuation of Healthpeak’s vision to create a world class campus that provides an inviting and collaborative setting for the nurturing of ideas, knowledge, and discoveries that shape the biotech industry,” said Scott Bohn, Healthpeak’s Chief Development Officer and Co-Head of Lab. “The future phases of Vantage provide Healthpeak a strategic development pipeline to meet the growth needs of our current and future tenants.” Mr. Bohn continued, “We’re appreciative of the collaborative and mutually beneficial relationship we have fostered with the City of South San Francisco over the past three decades and look forward to Vantage furthering South San Francisco’s position as a leading market for biotech innovation.”

In 2022, Healthpeak commenced construction on Phase I of the Vantage campus, consisting of 343,000 rental square feet across two buildings, as well as a 40,000 square foot amenity building featuring multiple dining options, conferencing space, and a fitness center. Phase I is currently 52% leased to Astellas Pharma, which took initial occupancy of its space in December 2023.
