MOFFETT FIELD, CA-A three-million-square-foot mixed-use community on 77 acres within the NASA Research Park here will serve as a test-bed for advances in green technologies. The project is a joint venture of the University of California at Santa Cruz and the Foothill-De Anza Community College District, which have formed a non-profit entity (University Associates-Silicon Valley LLC) for the endeavor. The two schools this week announced the master developers for the project, San Francisco-based TMG Partners and the Related Cos. of New York City.

TMG/Related and the two schools will now enter into an exclusive negotiating agreement that specifies the business terms of their relationship through pre-development activities. The work will include master planning and completing site entitlements in conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act.

Related Cos. president William Witte says the project “has the potential to become a model for sustainable development.” NASA Ames Research Center Director S. Pete Worden says the development will assist NASA with R&D and science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education “and help us bring forth new ideas in both education and technology to address the great challenges facing our nation.”
