Acquisition of 409 Illinois Street and 499 Illinois Street, San Francisco

The University of California is acquiring real property located at 409 and 499 Illinois Street in the Mission Bay neighborhood of San Francisco, California, encompassing 3.6 acres with two existing buildings totaling approximately 525,421 rentable square feet of laboratory, office, clinical, and ancillary retail space, along with 587 parking spaces in a shared garage. The property sits directly across from the UCSF Mission Bay campus and is intended to support institutional growth and operational needs. The acquisition is classified as a categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15301, as it involves the purchase of existing facilities without significant expansion or physical alterations, thereby qualifying for an exemption from further environmental review. The project is managed by the University of California’s Physical and Environmental Planning office, with Brian Harrington, Director of Physical and Environmental Planning, serving as the primary point of contact. No formal contract value, pricing details, or payment terms have been disclosed, and the transaction is identified internally as a forecast with no solicitation or contract number assigned. There is no indication of competitive bidding, evaluation factors, or selection criteria, suggesting the acquisition may proceed through direct negotiation or internal approval. The place of performance is clearly defined as San Francisco, California, and no special contractual requirements such as labor standards, security clearances, contract options, or clauses related to small business set-asides, far sections, or federal procurement regulations are present. While environmental compliance under CEQA is explicitly confirmed, no further documentation regarding inspection protocols, acceptance procedures, invoicing methods, accounting codes, or attachment lists has been provided, indicating the transaction is primarily focused on title transfer and regulatory compliance without complex performance or delivery obligations.
