SANTA CLARA, CA—Lawrence Station, a class-A office/R&D project under construction, has modified its design to provide a safer and healthier work environment as companies and employees begin workplace re-entry. Owned and developed by Bayview Development Group/BDG, Lawrence Station is a 173,472-square-foot five-story project located at 3655 Kifer Rd.

The project sits at the heart of the emerging urban node catalyzed by the Lawrence Station Area Plan/LSAP which was jointly adopted in 2016 by Santa Clara and Sunnyvale. Office/R&D, residential and retail have sprouted up around the Lawrence Caltrain station and LSAP's success has led to talks of expanding it.

"Other key factors making Lawrence Station so attractive for companies are its central Silicon Valley location and ease of accessibility," says Ted McMahon, BDG chief investment officer. "Although public transportation, like the nearby Caltrain station, has challenges in the near term due to the pandemic, public transit will still be a major consideration for employers in the long term."
