One of the longest running sagas in town (from before 2006) moved another step towards putting shovels in dirt on Monday. As the Daily Journal is reporting
A proposal to build a series of large office buildings, possibly the home to biotech companies, at the now-vacant former Burlingame Drive-in, received unanimous approval by the Planning Commission Monday and will now go to the City Council for final approval.
Millennium Partners, New York-based developers of mixed-used properties, applied in April 2010 to develop the 18.13-acre site — a project now known as Burlingame Point, located at 300 Airport Blvd. (also known as 350 Beach Road). Plans call for 689,810 square feet of office space in two five-story buildings, one seven-story building and one eight-story building. In December 2010, the City Council approved an agreement to conduct an environmental review of the project, which became available for review late last year.
We will have to see how the windsurfers react to the idea that "One of the biggest challenges, which Millennium is still trying to work through, is the disruption in wind patterns." This one almost landed in court the last time around.
