Springline: Menlo Park’s New 6.4 Acre Development
Springline emphasizes innovative safety technology, and all residents use an app to unlock doors, contact room service, and turn lights on and off. Part-time resident Apryl Stern said, “The Springline team uses the app frequently to communicate with residents. Sometimes they let us know of upcoming events, or construction that might cause inconveniences. We can also use it to reserve several common spaces, or submit a maintenance request.”

It’s a small space, with eight seats at a white marble bar, a single six-seat communal table and smaller tables in a shared lobby space (outdoor seating will come soon). When customers take a number for their orders, they’ll be stamped on a miniature, colorful surf fin. Rather than a full-service restaurant, the idea is “something a little bit more irreverent, fun and informal,” Kuzia-Carmel said.

Sand Hill Road reckons with its future
Springline has so far signed five venture capital firms to its tenant roster, one of which, Menlo Ventures, is shifting its headquarters there after spending over two decades on Sand Hill Road. Sanandaji believes the latter area’s lore has helped it overcome being an “amenities island” without dated, poorly insulated office structures that, among other shortcomings, aren’t in the most transit-friendly location. Presidio Bay’s project serves to “make the decision a relatively easy one for firms that realize there’s a significant advantage to being at Springline versus Sand Hill Road,” he said in April.

Mixed-Use Building Boom
“Springline is a lifestyle and a feeling that we’re evoking amongst all of our employers, employees, visitors, and residential tenants,” says K. Cyrus Sanandaji, CCIM, managing director and founder of Presidio Bay Ventures. The original site was a brownfield that involved a large assemblage of uses including an auto dealership and auto repair.
Although the development was in the works for about six years, Presidio Bay Ventures took it over in early 2020 and reimagined the design. “We truly believe that this is the future of sustainable and responsible development in California and beyond, especially as you look at the impact traffic and commutes have on communities and cities,” says Sanandaji.
