Changes emerge in plans to build village at SRI Menlo Park campus
Briefly

Lane Partners plans to redevelop the SRI campus in Menlo Park by reducing commercial space to address community concerns about daily worker trips. The revamped proposal includes 800 housing units, 1 million square feet of commercial space, and 20 acres of open space. The new project aims to better meet housing needs, enhance neighborhood character, and improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists. Lane Partners is collaborating with the SRI organization to create a community-oriented space with sustainable buildings, retail, recreation, and walking and biking pathways.
This plan helps meet Menlo Park's urgent housing needs, preserves the character of the immediate neighborhood, improves bike and pedestrian safety, and creates a beautiful new shared space for the community to enjoy for decades to come.
The plan opens up the historically private SRI campus in the heart of Menlo Park's downtown core for shared community use, replacing existing commercial space with new sustainable buildings, adding significant affordable and market-rate housing, new retail and recreation areas, and creating key open space connectors and walking and biking trails.
