Proposed Data Center Scaled Down in San Francisco, California

The Guadalupe Quarry Redevelopment Project propose in San Francisco, California, has been scaled down amid environmental concerns. The site is located south of San Francisco in the city of Brisbane and the company seeks to construct a 180,000 sq ft (17,000 sqm) data center and an industrial building in the Guadalupe Quarry, otherwise known as the San Bruno Mountain quarry.

Don Little, a partner at developer Orchard Partners LLC, said in a press release: “Based on feedback from the Brisbane community, we have reduced the total project size by a third and reduced building heights from 100 feet (30m) to 80 feet (24m). The updated development plan is a smaller project that intends to result in less truck traffic and less environmental impacts. Warehouse uses could be reduced by up to 70 percent.”

Managing partner Tyler Higgins added: “Our new development plan contemplates the creation of a data center, advanced manufacturing, and warehouse space, serving the San Francisco Peninsula — a region that hasn’t seen new infill industrial development for more than 30 years.”
