On Friday, October 18, Springline will be hosting its annual Halloween themed event, “Barks & Booos”, in collaboration with Pets in Need from 5:00 to 8:00 pm at its Glade Dog Park. The event is open to the Menlo Park community. This free event will feature pet adoption and food from local vendors, including tacos provided by Chef Gilly’s and wicked brews and wine from Barebottle Brewery. The main event is a runway show costume contest for pups and their owners, with winners receiving a $100 gift card to a Springline restaurant of their choice.

No recent development embodies the new era of aspiringly communal, mixed-use ethos better than Springline, the Menlo Park project where a coworking space, restaurants, condos, storefronts, and offices mingle. Opening last March, chef David Nayfeld’s new retail shop Il Mercato di Che Fico fits into the utopian lifestyle puzzle perfectly. Nayfeld also has a restaurant on location — Che Fico Parco Menlo — but the Mercato is another format, enlisting the help of a gelato cart, fresh, plump sandwiches, and pre-made, take-home meals to elevate the neighborhood grocery shop experience.

Springline is teaming up with Pets in Need for another year of "Barks & Booos," a spooky Halloween celebration packed with music, food and everything dogs. This year's free-to-attend event will feature tacos from Chef Gilly's, brews and wines from Barebottle Brewery, pet adoption opportunities, and a runway show costume show for pups and their humans. The winner with the best Howl-o-ween costume will get a $100 gift card to a Springling restaurant.

Downtown Menlo Park also contains a bustling design district where interior lovers can shop for frames and rugs and grab a delicious bite afterward. With Che Fico (an excellent Italian restaurant), Burma Love (contemporary Burmese cuisine) and Robin (omakase-style sushi), Springline Menlo Park is the area’s new hub for top-notch dining.

The complex is a 6.4-acre town square steps from the Menlo Park Caltrain station in San Francisco’s Bay Area. It includes two premium office buildings, nine restaurants, outdoor work spaces and terraces where people can mingle and connect, gym facilities, a high-end golf simulator, an upscale Italian grocery store and a 183-unit residential building. And like any good resort, it has a calendar of community events from craft cocktail fairs to silent discos. Visitors to the Springline complex in Menlo Park, Calif., are surrounded by a sense of comfort and luxury often found at high-end hotels: off-white walls with a Roman clay finish, a gray-and-white marble coffee table and a white leather bench beneath an 8-by-4 resin canvas etched with the words “Hello, tomorrow.” Springline’s signature scent — hints of salty sea air, white water lily, dry musk and honeydew melon — linger in the air.

Menlo Park’s Springline development is hosting an “Easter Eggstravaganza” on March 30, featuring an egg hunt for kids 12 and under (bring your own basket), food and drinks, face painting, live music and even a bunny petting zoo.

Springline is Menlo Park’s premiere “work, live, play” destination for luxury residences blended with modern offices and an impressive lineup of dining options. Residents and office tenants enjoy the extra perk of having their own private Full Swing golf simulator, named one of the Best Golf Simulator 2024 by Golf Monthly. Professional golf legend Tiger Woods uses Full Swing’s golf simulators and the brand is a favorite amongst other PGA Tour players. It offers 30+ gaming experiences ranging from Full Swing Football to Zombie Dodgeball. For more experienced golfers, Full Swing golf simulators even offer a playback of a player’s swing.

San Francisco 49ers fans gathered across the Bay Area Sunday for Super Bowl LVIII. Unfortunately, the Niners lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in a heartbreaking overtime Super Bowl thriller Sunday night, 25-22. Plaza at Springline in Menlo Park Where: 1300 El Camino Real, Menlo Park, CA 94025 When: Sunday, Feb. 11, 2:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m.

Grab your friends and get ready to watch the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs they battle it out on the field to become Super Bowl champs. Springline will have two big screen set ups so you won’t miss any of the action. Enjoy food trucks, beer, wine, cocktails, live music, and prizes! This event, which will take place in the plaza, is free to the public.

The Plaza at Springline (1302 El Camino Real, Menlo Park): This party in the public square of Menlo Park's pristine, full-retail-leased development will feature not one but two giant LED screens, food trucks, booze, live music, and prizes. RSVP here. When: 2:30 p.m. Admission: Free

Sanandaji emphasized the importance of viewing relationships with tenants as partnerships, rather than a traditional landlord-tenant dynamic focused solely on rents and revenue projections. He pointed out that in the current market, where conditions are soft, pushing the envelope on this dynamic helps differentiate projects. The success of Springline, designed to resemble a large resort, relied on symbiotic relationships between the landlord, residents, office tenants, and restaurant partners.

The 2023 Holiday Extravaganza — featuring real snow to go sledding and build a snowman — will take place at the Plaza at Springline on Saturday, December 2, from 4:00 to 9:00 pm. Admission is free to the public. There will be small bites, cocktails, and hot chocolate. Purchase fresh wreaths and garland at The Guardsmen’s nursery. All proceeds go towards at-risk youth programs.

What lessons can one take away from the success at Springline? Mainly that we view our relationships with tenants as true partnerships as opposed to just a landlord thinking about rents and projected revenue. In this day and age, where the market is soft, you need to be pushing the envelope on that dynamic in order to differentiate yourself. We wanted Springline to feel like being in a large resort without being at an actual resort. In order for that to work, the relationships between landlord, the residents, office tenants and restaurant partners has to be symbiotic.

Springline Holiday Extravaganza An event with live music from The School of Rock and The Freshmakers, food, festive cocktails and hot chocolate, a snow playground with real snow, outdoor screening of “Elf” and fresh wreaths and garlands for sale, to raise funds for at-risk youth. Dec. 2, 4-9 p.m. at Springline Menlo Park,1300 El Camino Real, Menlo Park. Free; registration requested. springline.com.

Springline in Menlo Park is turning into quite the dining destination. Joining the ranks of Burma Love, which opened in July, and Che Fico Parco Menlo, debuting this month, is sushi sensation Robin. In lieu of a menu, expert staff guide diners through an omakase experience based on their budget and dietary preferences. It’s a unique and delicious take on classic sushi omakase that encourages repeat experimentation.

Robin doesn’t use menus – tell them your likes and dislikes and they’ll curate a meal to your taste. Andytown has a sparkling espresso + real whipped cream that’s truly an unexpected taste sensation. For a Roasted Eggplant Wrap that is wowie delicious, and other super fresh food – stop by Proper Food. And for a casual, fun, hangout - check out the comfortable and cozy indoor and outdoor seating at Barebottle Brew Co – the perfect place to catch up with family and friends this holiday.

Che Fico Parco Menlo opens at the Springline development Nov. 8. The sister restaurant of the acclaimed Che Fico and Che Fico Alimentari in San Francisco, it’s one of the final eateries to open at the development. The lineup includes Robin Menlo Park, the sister location of the renowned San Francisco sushi restaurant; Andytown Coffee Roasters, tapas bar Canteen and sister cafe Canteen Coffee Shop, grab-and-go cafe Proper Food, Burmese restaurant Burma Love and Barebottle Brewing Company. Remaining eateries coming to Springline include Che Fico’s Italian market, opening later this year, and contemporary Mexican restaurant Mírame, opening in 2024.

"That's deliberate. Cyrus Sanandaji, Springline's de­ veloper and the dynamic young managing principal of Presidio Bay Ventures. lives in San Francisco. has frequented all these res­taurants and envisioned local brands that repre­ sent the City by the Bay's distinct cultural iden-tity and iconic pull. "We looked to see what would complement existing fine dining options in the South Bay. and what didn't exist." he explains. "Instead of just heavy dinner places. we wanted quality, approachable outlets."

The lineup of restaurants at Menlo Park’s Springline development includes several buzzy and familiar names like Canteen, the sister restaurant of Camper’s Greg Kuzia-Carmel, and San Francisco’s Barebottle Brewing Company and Burma Love. But one element sets the newest addition, Robin Menlo Park, apart: It doesn’t have a menu.

This family-friendly, spooky evening will feature live music, Chef Gilly’s tacos, and beer from the Barebottle Brewing Company. Groombuggy and Pet Wants SF will be onsite for grooming appointments and fresh dog food, treats and fun toys.

But while the new Robin takes the same contemporary-cool approach to omakase as its first location, the restaurant isn’t exactly the same as the original; it’s better. For starters, the moody dining room with its stormy mural (painted by the much-sought-after local artist Caroline Lizarraga), earth-toned seating, and charred black wood accents reminiscent of traditional Japanese construction, is much larger than its pocket-sized predecessor. Perhaps more importantly, unlike Robin SF, Robin Menlo Park has a liquor license.

The Peninsula spinoff of San Francisco’s popular Italian restaurant Che Fico will open on November 8. Che Fico Parco Menlo is located at the mixed-use development Springline at 1302 El Camino Real. The massive 7,500-square-foot restaurant will have a dedicated room for making pizza dough, an open kitchen, and a private dining room, the Chronicle writes.

On Sunday, October 22 from 9:30 to 10:30 am, come to the The Plaza at Springline in Menlo Park for a low impact, full-body workout that combines strength, cardio, and mindfulness. This all-inclusive workout is perfect for beginners and experts alike. Admission is free and open to the public. Don’t forget to bring your yoga mat!

Springline residents and Menlo Park locals brought their dogs to take part in Barks and Boos last Friday night. This family and pooch emerged as the winners of the dress up competition.

“Some dishes everybody will get, some are unique,” says Michael. “It’s a little bit of adventure for the guests. They feel like we are paying attention to them.” Adds chef-owner Adam Tortosa: “I wanted to be a chef since I was very young and was nterested in sushi specifically. In creating a dish, there’s usually an inspiration from seasonal fruits or vegetables. I look for flavor and texture. And I always want to make it interesting! ”

The much-anticipated Che Fico Parco Menlo, the owners’ first project outside San Francisco, opens Nov. 8 at Springline at 1302 El Camino Real. The restaurant is the mixed-used development’s anchor food tenant, and it shows. The stunning 7,500-square-foot space is tricked out with a gleaming open kitchen, hand-blown glass chandeliers inspired by pasta shapes, pizza ovens with five times the capacity of those at Che Fico San Francisco and a huge private dining room with its own kitchen.

Robin, a popular San Francisco restaurant known for its inventive take on sushi, has a swanky new location in Menlo Park. The tasting menu changes frequently and is customizable based on what diners want to order (and how much they’d like to pay), but expect dishes like live uni from Mendocino and potato chip nigiri topped with caviar. Robin is located at Springline, a buzzy development that’s bringing names like San Francisco’s Che Fico to the Peninsula.

“We’re definitely not trying to transport you to Japan,” Tortosa said. “It’s certainly an inspiration, an ode to Japanese precision and execution and quality, but in a more approachable, fun and super contemporary environment.” “Every bite is a composed dish as far as the different flavors, different textures,” he continued. “Typically in high-end sushi, the flavor with the fish is usually soy sauce or maybe lemon and salt. We’re not trying to mask the fish, but we’re trying to use these other flavors to heighten the fish.”

In 2020, when Presidio Bay Ventures acquired the mixed-use Springline development from Greenheart Land Co., nothing was pre-leased in either the project’s office or retail portions. Two years later, Presidio Bay didn’t have anything else to offer in Springline’s 200,000 square feet of office space or among its 10 retail units. It was 100% leased.

Menlo Park's newest development marks its official opening with an extravaganza of activities that truly does seem to offer something for everyone. Following on festivities from last week that included a sold-out jazz show, Springline's opening events this weekend include a craft cocktail fair on Sept. 21, an art gala on Sept. 22 highlighting pieces by local artists, with LED installations, live art and more on display in the plaza, plus craft cocktails and bites and a panel discussion. The following day, Sept. 23, heralds the coming of fall with the End of Summer Palooza, a carnival with live music, games, food trucks, wine tasting and outdoor movies. Also on Sept. 23, guests can get their groove on without even disturbing the neighbors at the After Dark Silent Disco, dancing to tunes spun by DJ Red Corvette broadcast through headphones, while enjoying outdoor games, plus beer and wine.

The new Springline development in Menlo Park wrapped up two weekends of opening events with a glow-in-the-dark themed dance party under neon lights that featured light-up headphones, party favors, outdoor games, and beverages provided by Barebottle Brewing Company.

The new menu will be similar to the one in San Francisco, but not a carbon copy, said chef-owner Adam Tortosa. Staple dishes like the potato chip creation and aged beef nigiri covered with shaved foie gras will be served during a two-hour tasting menu. The seafood options are seasonal, featuring fish like black throat sea perch from Japan, charred Northern California rockfish or live uni from Mendocino. Ingredients like truffle butter, whipped tofu and aged soy sauce are often incorporated into the ever-changing omakase menu. The price ranges from $109 to $189 for 12 to 18 dishes, depending on what diners order.

Because of the restaurant’s bespoke approach to omakase, diners are unlikely to ever have the same experience more than once. But the restaurant does have some signature offerings, which will be ported down to Menlo Park from San Francisco. On the nigiri front, expect to see Mt. Lassen Steelhead paired with yellow peach and local Half Moon Bay wasabi and, for a luxurious bite, saltwater-stored Japanese uni crowned with white sturgeon caviar from Sacramento. Sashimi might include hirame kombujime, or California halibut cured in Japanese kombu served with coconut and kabosu verjus, jicama, and smoked pineapple. The kitchen, led by head sushi chef Kentaro Ikuta, will also put out plates such as toro tartare made with morel reduced soy and sesame noodles dressed in Japanese “chimichurri” and black truffle.

“We have delivered a magnetic destination in the heart of Silicon Valley that attracts the Bay area’s best to live, work and play,” says K. Cyrus Sanandaji, managing principal of Presidio Bay. “Over the past three years, we have created a destination with thoughtfully designed spaces that allow for tenants, residents and the local community to interact.”

Two weeks of Springline Grand Opening festivities start on Thursday, September 14, and continue through Saturday, September 23. RSVP or purchase tickets to one or all of the events through the links online. Springline is on Oak Grove and El Camino.

Join Springline Restaurants for an evening of cocktails and live music! Each participating restaurant will serve its signature cocktails and mocktails to bring you a taste of Springline. This event is free to the public with beverages available for purchase. Participating Restaurants: Che Fico; Burma Love; Andytown; Canteen Wine Bar; Barebottle

“Thanks to the incredible hard work of our dedicated team of architects, engineers, consultants, contractors, community and city partners, our vision for Springline has now come to life. We have delivered a magnetic destination in the heart of Silicon Valley,” says Managing Principal K. Cyrus Sanandaji. “Over the past three years, we have created a destination with thoughtfully designed spaces that allow for tenants, residents, and the local community to interact.”

Robin Springline- Opening: Mid-September Michelin Guide-listed sushi restaurant Robin has been one of San Francisco’s favorite high-end sushi destinations for years and soon chef Adam Tortosa and partner Michael Huffman will take the show down the Peninsula to open a second outpost at Springline, the ambitious Menlo Park development. 1300 El Camino Real, #C, Menlo Park Che Fico Parco Menlo Opening: Late September/Early October James Beard Award semifinalist David Nayfeld will take his chic Italian restaurant Che Fico to Springline, the ambitious mixed-use development in Menlo Park. Che Fico Parco Menlo will stay true to its restaurant roots with some small updates for the South Bay scene. It opens in tandem with Il Mercato Di Che Fico, an Italian-focused market that will sell produce, prepared foods, wine, and gelato. 1300 El Camino Real, Menlo Park

We recently enjoyed a medley of tasty dishes at Canteen including our favorite fried Half Moon Bay Brussels sprouts and new-to-us “Papas Bravas” potatoes. But the biggest hit was the grilled octopus “a la Gallega” — a piece of art that tasted every bit as good. Canteen, overseen by chef Greg Kuzia-Carmel, is located at 550 Oak Grove Avenue, part of the Springline development.

Chef David Nayfeld’s Che Fico is one of the key pieces of the retail-culinary lineup for Springline, the massive mixed-use project that’s springing up along El Camino Real and bound to become a top dining destination.

Behind the bar, customers can find over 20 of Barebottle’s beers on draft, ranging from light, crisp lagers to fruited sour ales and stiffer options like double IPAs and a barleywine. Nonalcoholic beverages, like sparkling hop water, a ginger-hibiscus soda and blueberry pomegranate kombucha — all made by Barebottle — are also available, as are Argentinian empanadas from San Francisco caterer Pampa BBQ. Customers can also bring their own food or even order pintxos and other Spanish-inspired fare from tapas restaurant Canteen, which will bring the food over to the taproom from its space next door.

Burma Love, the sister restaurant of San Francisco’s beloved Burma Superstar, has opened its first Peninsula location. Located at Menlo Park development Springline, which is steadily filling up with restaurants and cafes, this location serves Burma Love’s tea leaf salad, curries and other popular dishes. The sleek dining room is decorated with a mural of Burma, a green velvet banquette and sparkly globe chandeliers. The full bar serves cocktails like the Last Harp in Bagan with strawberry gin, Luzhou Laojiao (a Chinese liquor), smoked strawberry, hibiscus and lapsang souchong tea.

In an email, Cyrus Sanandaji, managing principal at the company, emphasized the importance of cultural authenticity to the project. “Silicon Valley’s vibrant tech-driven ecosystem has always been a magnet for global talent and forward-thinkers,” he wrote. “Yet, beneath its digital facade lies a rich tapestry of diverse individuals seeking authentic, community-centered experiences that often escape the fast-paced rhythm of their professional lives.”

In the heart of Silicon Valley, Springline is a 6.4-acre mixed-use development that prioritizes technology and innovation. As the world’s hotspot for tech companies and startups, Springline integrates advanced security measures with the K5-ASR autonomous robot by Knightscope. The robot patrols the property, ensuring the safety of residents and office tenants. This futuristic approach to security highlights how technology can shape the luxury living experience.

Menlo Park’s growing Springline development has added a renowned San Francisco restaurant to its lineup of eateries: Burmese restaurant Burma Love, which opened July 19. The new establishment is Burma Love’s third Bay Area location and first restaurant on the Peninsula.

An extension of Burma Love’s family of restaurants, the well-known San Francisco destination opened in Menlo Park at Springline on Wednesday (7/19). The restaurant, which will be open Sun.-Thurs. from 4:00-9:00 pm and Fri.-Sat. from 4:00-9:30 pm, will offer its famous Tea Leaf Salad (pictured), Samusa Soup, and Classic Mohinga along with seafood plates and exclusive bar menu which includes Burma Ale and specialty Burmese and Southeast Asian-inspired cocktails. With taprooms across the Bay Area, Barebottle opened Thursday (7/20) at Springline. This location will offer its own roasted coffee, wine and — of course — home-brewed beer.

Looks like the Springline development in Menlo Park is chugging along nicely, as its latest restaurants are set to open this weekend: Burmese restaurant Burma Love will open on Wednesday, July 19, while Barebottle Brewing Company opens on Thursday, July 20. It’s the latest round of openings for the complex, which will have as many as 11 different restaurants and cafes open by fall.

Since Chef Greg Kuzia-Carmel of Camper fame opened Canteen in Menlo Park’s Springline Development in January, the menu has continued to expand. There are still more than a dozen snacks/small bites available but a range of other larger options. Favorites last night were the fried Half Moon Bay Brussel Sprouts and Gambrel’s Lamb Sausage served with sweet corn.

Springline’s Most Recent Updates Include: Office: Springline was able to secure 100% leasing of their 2 Class-A (200,000 square feet) modern office buildings. Residential: Springline is proud to be exceeding market expectations and is 86% leased. Retail: Springline was able to command the attention of San Francisco’s most coveted restaurants like Che Fico Parco Menlo, Burma Love, and Robin. In May, Proper Food and Andytown Coffee Roasters opened their doors and these new locations are their first ones outside of the Bay Area. Burma Love, Barebottle Taproom, and Robin will open to a hungry community in the next few weeks. By Labor Day, all of Springline’s highly anticipated restaurants aside will be open with the exception of Mirame which will open in the fall.

Come to the Plaza at Springline on Sunday, June 25 for a low impact, full-body workout that combines strength, cardio, and mindfulness from 9:30 to 10:30 am. This all-inclusive workout is perfect for beginners and experts alike. Admission is free and open to the public. Remember to bring your yoga mat!

Robin, a popular, upscale San Francisco sushi restaurant, is gearing up to debut a second location and its first outside of the city at Springline, a new development in Menlo Park. Robin will likely be one of the fanciest, and most expensive, restaurants at Springline, where San Francisco Italian favorite Che Fico is opening a casual spinoff this summer and popular cafe Andytown Coffee just arrived.

A local, fast-growing Vietnamese restaurant opened a large new location. One of Korea’s biggest sweets chains picked the region for its U.S. debut. And a popular San Francisco coffee shop put down roots in an exciting Menlo Park development.

Opening Proper Food at the Springline development in Menlo Park is a homecoming of sorts for owners Dana and Howard Bloom. When Springline approached them to be part of the new development, they were struck by its innovative mix of residential, office and eateries. “We believed it was a great location for making high quality food more accessible to both Menlo Park and the Stanford community,” Dana says.

On Saturday, May 13 from 9:30 to 11:00 am, join Barre3 in The Plaza at Springline (1300 El Camino Real) for a low impact, full-body workout that combines strength, cardio, and mindfulness. This all-inclusive workout is perfect for beginners and experts alike.

Proper Food has finally brought its “fresh take on takeaway” concept to the Peninsula, not far from the Stanford campus where the company’s founders met. A grand opening will be held Tuesday at the new Menlo Park location at Springline on El Camino Real. Hours going forward will be 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on weekdays.

A grab-and-go food outpost by Proper Food and a Peninsula location of Andytown Coffee Roasters are the next two eateries in a spate of dining concepts coming to Menlo Park at Springline, a mixed-use development with 183 apartments plus retail and office spaces.

Grab some food from the food trucks and come create live moss art to brighten up your desk or home. In addition, there will be a Rivian and Envoy demonstration and Zero waste cleaning product company Greatfill will host a discussion on the brand’s sustainable mission in addition to offering a discount to residents.

"Obviously, there was a huge question, or series of questions, around what the future would look like, let alone the future of the office," Sanandaji previously said about the project. "We have been really focused on destination placemaking. You have to view the project more holistically and realize that from a placemaking-strategy perspective, having an incredible lineup of restaurants and bars and activation is really going to start driving meaningful increases in rent on the commercial side, on the office side and residential side."

Have friends or relatives coming to visit for an extended time — and need to put them up somewhere other than your home? There’s a new option in town with the opening of Locale Menlo Park, which will manage 15 one-bedroom and two-bedroom residences at Springline. The residences will feature a fully-equipped kitchen with coffee and tea, in-unit washer and dryer, free WiFi, and bath amenities.

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.”

“Springline has already established itself as the future of Menlo Park and a world-class destination for the future of office, modern living, dining and entertainment,” said Kabir Seth, Principal at Presidio Bay. “Through Locale, we are adding another layer to our offerings by attracting modern travelers and renters seeking a more flexible alternative to traditional hotels and vacation rentals. We predict strong demand from both professionals and consumers who will no longer have to sacrifice their experience for convenience.”

On Sunday, February 26, from 9:30 to 11:00 am, Barre3 Menlo Park is bringing its Menlo Park studio to The Plaza at Springline (1300 El Camino) for the community to enjoy a low-impact, full-body workout. Remember to bring your yoga mat!

Chef Greg Kuzia-Carmel, who operates Camper in Menlo Park, recently opened Canteen at Springline, a 6.4-acre mixed-use development at 1300 El Camino Real. The first of several restaurants coming to Springline, Canteen will eventually be joined by Che Fico Italian restaurant and market, Burma Love, San Francisco’s Andytown Coffee Roasters and others.

Super Bowl watching festivities include music, games, photo booth, food trucks, and more! The viewing takes place on Sunday, February 12, at Springline, 1300 El Camino Real, Menlo Park from 2:30 to 6:30 pm.

James Beard Award semifinalist David Nayfeld will take his San Francisco Italian dining destination Che Fico to Springline, the ambitious mixed-use development in Menlo Park. This spring, Mirame arrives in the Bay Area with an outpost at Springline set to bring dishes like salmon skin chicharones and a fermented tea leaf salad to the Silicon Valley.

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.

“My goal for Canteen was to create a space that sets the bar high for casual, but carefully executed dining, while keeping the energy of the space young, welcoming and approachable,” said Chef Greg.

Springline is hosting an outdoor Barry’s Bootcamp Pop-up this Sunday, November 20 from 9:30 to 10:30 am. Admission is free and open to the public. People can RSVP by emailing noelle@springline.com.

Canteen Coffee Shop, located inside the Springline development in downtown Menlo Park, has officially opened. The cafe, by Greg Kuzia Carmel, the chef behind Camper on Santa Cruz Avenue, is located inside CANOPY, a co-working office space at the new 6.4-acre housing, office and retail complex.

Canteen Coffee Shop, located inside the Springline development in downtown Menlo Park, has officially opened. The cafe, by Greg Kuzia Carmel, the chef behind Camper on Santa Cruz Avenue, is located inside CANOPY, a co-working office space at the new 6.4-acre housing, office and retail complex.

The Menlo Park Chamber of Commerce will host the 45th annual Golden Acorn Award ceremony virtually on Thursday, October 27, at 5:00 pm. The keynote speaker is Cyrus Sanandaji, Founder, CEO and Managing Partner of Presidio Ventures, the organization behind the Springline development.

The quick office lease-up is a contrast to the overall trends on the Peninsula, which in the third quarter saw tenants give up 450,000 square feet more space than they leased. Nearly 17% of office space on the Peninsula is either vacant or available as sublease, according to CBRE.

Springline, the 6.4-acre development that intersects Oak Grove Avenue and El Camino in Menlo Park, combines 183 one-to-three bedroom residences with 200,000 square foot of office space and nine restaurants, which will open later this fall.

Wells Fargo Bank is the newest tenant at Presidio Bay Ventures' Springline mixed-use development in Menlo Park, which has attracted VC, tech and law firm tenants over the past year. The bank, which is headquartered in San Francisco and recently reduced its real estate holdings there, has committed to 40,000 square feet at the 100,000-square-foot North office building at 1300-1302 El Camino Real. It will open there in 2023.

The first restaurant to open at Springline, a splashy, food-filled development in Menlo Park, will be Canteen, the second act from the chef behind popular and nearby restaurant Camper. The casual, all-day restaurant and wine bar from Greg Kuzia-Carmel will serve snacks like crispy chickpea panisse fries dipped in a habanero-tomato sauce, and raw oysters dressed simply with a smoked Meyer lemon and koji mignonette. To drink, there will be Californian and international wines, local beers and nonalcoholic options.

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.

Burma Love, established in 2015, offers (in the Guide's words) "hipper digs, a cooler crowd" and a more limited menu of Superstar's popular dishes. The spaces tend to toe the line between a night out with family or with a first date, divided into a semi-private bar area (anchored by Burma Ale and Southeast Asian cocktails) and a main dining room. Burma Love has another 4,100-square-foot location expected to open this December in Menlo Park's high-end mixed-use project Springline, alongside a new restaurant and market from local Italian heavyweight Che Fico.

“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.

Springline, a transit-oriented community of office space, residences and restaurants on El Camino Real in Menlo Park, CA has announced a pair of new tenants: litigation consulting firm Cornerstone Research and venture and growth equity company Norwest Venture Partners. The property is now 75% leased of the 200,000 square feet of office space.

Fully opening next year, this 6.4-acre connected community has been expressly designed to be a walkable city within a city. Situated next to downtown Menlo Park and a short walk from the Caltrain Station, Springline features hospitality-driven homes, creative offices, destination restaurants and outdoor experiences in the heart of the Peninsula.

The property sits at 1300 and 1302 El Camino Real and 550 Oak Grove Ave. In addition to the retail and office space, it includes 183 apartments, which are in pre-leasing. Other tenants actively leasing the property now include restaurants Burma Love and Che Fico, and the law offices of Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP.

Developer Presidio Bay Ventures announced it has leased 100% of the 29,000 square feet of retail space and 75% of the 200,000 square feet of office at the Springline project near the Menlo Park Caltrain stop.

After drawing a loyal following to Menlo Park’s Camper for his seasonal entrees and fresh pasta, chef Greg Kuzia-Carmel (Quince, Cotogna, Per Se), will expand just about a mile away with not one but two culinary concepts at the upcoming Springline project.

Recognizing the changing nature of workplace culture due to the pandemic, Presidio Bay has restructured the project for the new era, incorporating more flexible and outdoor work spaces, enhancing HVAC systems to improve indoor air quality and conducting a "top to bottom" revision of the floor plans and architectural elements to allow multi-tenanting in the two commercial buildings, said K. Cyrus Sanandaji, managing director of Presidio Bay Ventures.

After drawing a loyal following to Menlo Park’s Camper for his seasonal entrees and fresh pasta, chef Greg Kuzia-Carmel (Quince, Cotogna, Per Se), will expand just about a mile away with not one but two culinary concepts at the upcoming Springline project.

At the heart of the hip Menlo Park neighborhood, Springline is bringing residents modern luxury through their smart living amenity, the Springline App in partnership with Amenify. Springline’s DNA is focused on using the latest technology to maximize day-to-day efficiency and productivity as well as actively enhance the wellness of residents. Through the Springline App, residents will get sustainability reports which include data like indoor air quality, carbon offsets, and solar generation as well as book hospitality-driven services such as fitness classes, dog walking services, and food delivery.

Acclaimed Beverly Hills restaurant Mirame is coming to the Springline development in Menlo Park as its latest and last retail tenant. With Mirame, Springline is now 100% leased on the retail side.

Mirame, the acclaimed two-year-old Mexican restaurant in Beverly Hills from chef Joshua Gil, is readying a second, NorCal location- and it's going to be in the new Springline development in Menlo Park that has also lured SF's Che Fico and Burma Love to open new spots as well, along Hayes Valley sushi spot Robin.

Mirame in Beverly Hills, which Eater LA critic Bill Esparza called "the most exciting new restaurant" to open in Los Angeles in 2020, will open a second location next year at Springline, a splashy, food-filled development in Menlo Park.

Proper Food, a restaurant group that offers chef-driven grab-and-go meals, salads and sandwiches, will open its first suburban location this fall at Menlo Park's soon-to-open Springline project.

“Our opportunity was to come in and deliver a project that would make the decision a relatively easy one for firms that realize there’s a significant advantage to being at Springline versus Sand Hill Road,” Presidio Bay’s K. Cyrus Sanandaji said. “The firms that are looking at Springline are absolutely the firms that would have otherwise ended up on Sand Hill Road.”

Two new additions are coming to Springline, joining Che Fico, Burma Love, Barebottle, Andytown and Chef Greg’s Canteen Next Door.

Presidio Bay Ventures breathed new life into this mixed-use development in downtown Menlo Park, taking it over in 2020 and steering the first phase to completion. The project includes 200,000 square feet of Class A office space in two buildings — delivered last year — 183 residential units, ground-floor retail, and underground parking for 942 vehicles. The office space is half leased to six tenants, while the retail space is 91% leased.

The developer, Presidio Bay, hopes to create a new dining hub to appeal to prospective tenants of this project being billed as a Sand Hill Road 2.0 venture capital center. Most of the announced restaurants are San Francisco businesses expanding to Silicon Valley; one, Canteen, is a local product.

Now under construction on the Peninsula is Springline, a 6.4-acre, mixed-use project that will bring residences, offices, outdoor space, retail businesses — and lots of restaurants — to Menlo Park.

Springline, billed by developer Presidio Bay Ventures as “Sand Hill Road 2.0,” expects to fully open in summer 2022. By recruiting recognizable San Francisco and Bay Area food and beverage businesses to the development, developers hope to create a new dining hub on the Peninsula.

Springline and The Glade will promote meaningful moments of connection with thoughtful dog meet-ups and collaborations with local pet brands.

When fully open summer 2022, Springline will be a connected community filled with creative offices, modern hospitality-driven residences, destination dining and outdoor experiences all centered on a culture of innovation, exploration and new encounters. Situated in the heart of the Peninsula, Springline was designed to be a walkable city within a city to live, work, think, play, conveniently located adjacent to downtown Menlo Park and steps from the Caltrain Station.

In nearby Menlo Park, a slew of big-name restaurants and cafes are anticipated to open at Springline, a mixed-use development at 1300 El Camino Real, as reported by the San Francisco Chronicle.

The sprawling Springline development just announced some of its food lineup, with lots of local heavy hitters.

For a long time, downtown Menlo Park was a place where things didn't happen. A look through the Menlo Park Historical Association archives crammed into a basement room at the Main Library yields articles bout renewal plans dating to the late 1960s. Most of them never got off the ground amid public sentiment to maintain a residential, low-density vibe.

Menlo Park’s Caltrain stop doesn’t crack the top 10 of the commuter rail line’s busiest stations. But that could change once all of the transit-oriented developments near it are completed.

Downtown San Francisco’s existence today is a shell of the life it previously lived. It used to be: Traffic. Noise. People rushing to the office, to BART, out for food, all running past each other, often into each other, buried in their phones.

Funding for the arts is generally placed low on society’s list of priorities during economically challenging times. The coronavirus pandemic has significantly impacted the arts more broadly with the temporary closing of galleries, museums and performing arts venues across the country.
