Redwood Life applicant Longfellow Real Estate Partners has informed the City of their intention to formally pursue Alternative #2. Longfellow will no longer be pursuing the original proposal and will submit a revised project application to the City.

Alternative #2 is a reduced project that proposes 12 buildings (instead of 15), 1.9 million net new square feet (instead of 2.35 million net new square feet), with an internalized roadway (Longfellow Way) and the Amenity Center relocated on the ground floor within a life science building.

This change better aligns the proposal with community feedback seeking a smaller project. Also, it allows for a more focused analysis, simplifying the preparation and review of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for this complex project.

The applicant will submit an updated application package that includes the following:

·    Revised project narrative and community benefits package

·    Updated project data sheet

·    Refined site plan and architectural elevations

·    Required civil engineering plans

The environmental analysis will be based on these materials. A public EIR scoping meeting is tentatively scheduled for the Planning Commission in Summer 2025.

See PlanRedwoodLife.org for information on the project and upcoming meetings as they become available.
