This hub for growing life science companies expanded new services for the community to enjoy.
BURLINGAME, CA — A property company that owns a building dedicated to supporting life-science companies in Burlingame announced Thursday new additions to the space, including a café, an outdoor plaza and three large artworks.
The Landing, a life science campus in Burlingame owned by King Street Properties, has added new public features to the property.
“These great public spaces and amenities are part of the innovative workplace we’re creating at The Landing, to give life sciences companies an opportunity to plant roots in Burlingame,” said Sonia Taneja, managing director overseeing The Landing for King Street. “The Landing is leading the change in life science real estate opportunities in the Mid-Peninsula, raising the bar for purpose-built lab space. And by embracing and welcoming the community into the project, we are helping fulfill the city’s vision for the Bayfront neighborhood as a home for science and the community.”
The Apron bistro café is open from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday serving breakfast and lunch. Its menu features brewed espresso drinks, coffee, and tea, alongside freshly made sandwiches, salads, baked goods, and hot entrees.
New artworks at The Landing feature a 27-foot-tall signature sculpture by Oregon artist CJ Rench, prominently placed in the public plaza. Additionally, two 60-foot murals by San Francisco artist Nicole Mueller decorate the parking garage, visible from the plaza and even from Highway 101.
The newly opened Apron café is complemented by a half-acre public plaza and outdoor area, offering ample seating, benches and tables. Employees at The Landing can also utilize semi-private spaces next to the plaza for meetings or breaks.
An event-ready conference center, accommodating up to 150 people, offers a pre-function area and is open for reservations to both tenants and the public.
The Landing caters to science-based organizations with specialized facilities including efficient lab planning grids, robust MEP, and a 60 percent lab and 40 percent office split.
