Aquatic
Park Center, Phase III; Berkeley,
CA |
|
|
Phase
III of Aquatic
Park Center is a 165,000 square foot mixed-use development.
The focal point is a new three-story building
at 700 Heinz St.,
which fronts on Aquatic Park. The anchor tenant currently
is the State of California Department of
Health Services.
An additional new two-story,
35,000 square foot office and R&D building was pre-leased
by Xoma Corporation as an expansion of their laboratory quality
control facilities and was subsequently taken over by Bayer Pharmaceuticals.
A childcare facility catering to the Aquatic park Center tenants
as well as the surrounding business community is housed in the
third new building – a 10,000 square foot commercial structure.
Scher and his partners
also rehabilitated two existing buildings as part of Phase III.
The former headquarters of Durkee Famous Foods, a 25,000 square
foot Art Deco building, was fully revitalized to house a consortium
of artist live/work studio galleries as well as a first-class
restaurant. Durkee’s former spice warehouse was renovated
as a theatre and cultural center and became home to the Pacific
Jewish Theatre. |
