A new life sciences development is now complete in Redwood City, adding 200,000 square feet of lab and office space to the city’s fast-growing biotech scene.
Built by Truebeck Construction for the Trammell Crow Company, the $135 million project at 200 Twin Dolphin Drive was finished in March. The five-story facility is designed with advanced HVAC systems, tall ceilings, and customizable lab space intended for future biotech tenants.
Located near highways 101 and 92, Caltrain, and San Francisco International Airport, the site is expected to draw interest from companies seeking a high-tech space with strong regional connections.
Redwood City has seen increases in new projects in recent months and local economic development groups have taken notice.
Rosanne Foust, president and CEO of the nonprofit San Mateo County Economic Development Association (SAMCEDA), stated that the project is part of a broader trend of local innovation.
“Redwood City has and continues to be a hub for innovation in the tech and biotech space, and this project signals that momentum,” she said, adding that once the space is filled, it’s expected to bring “high-quality jobs, new talent, and the kind of long-term investment that deepens our local economy’s resilience.”
Foust said biotech projects like this also drive demand for housing, transportation, and education, with ripple effects that reach far beyond city limits.
Redwood City officials did not respond to requests for comment.
The building features a 10,000-square-foot fitness center and three balconies with panoramic views of nearby waterways and trails. The adjacent parking structure will hold more than 700 vehicles, including 67 EV charging stations.
Bio-retention planters help manage stormwater runoff and reduce toxins entering the surrounding ecosystem. According to Brynda Olson, Truebeck Project Executive, the facility was designed with sustainability in mind.
“The 200 Twin Dolphin Drive project exemplifies Truebeck Construction’s commitment to sustainability, innovation, and delivering high-performance buildings that support groundbreaking life science research,” Olson said.
Truebeck also touted the public art in a statement.
Artists based in the Bay Area, such as San Francisco’s Ian Ross will have sculptures outside the main entrance.
Murals by Jet Martinez, an Oakland-based artist, appear on multiple floors.
Truebeck partnered with DGA (architecture), Salas O’Brien (engineering), EXP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing), Studio Five Design (landscape), Walters & Wolf (façade), and CBRE (leasing).
No tenants have been publicly announced.
