We now have a name to go with the previously-announced commitment for 100,000+ sf at 455 Mission Bay Blvd South: Pfizer. They also hold an option on another 50,000 sf.

Pfizer setting up key unit in Mission Bay
San Francisco Business Times - by Ron Leuty

Pfizer Inc., the world's largest drugmaker, is coming to San Francisco's Mission Bay.

The company will move about 100 employees -- including the headquarters of its new Biotherapeutics and Bioinnovation Center -- into a new structure in San Francisco's growing Mission Bay biotech development.

The move is a coup for San Francisco since Pfizer is staking so much of its future on the Biotherapeutics and Bioinnovation Center, or BBC, headed by biotech industry veteran Corey Goodman.

Pfizer leaders and San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom plan to make the move official with an event at 2:15 p.m. today at the site on the east side of Third Street at Mission Bay Boulevard South. The location is across the street from the Mission Bay campus of the University of California, San Francisco.

Pfizer agreed Friday to a long-term lease of essentially the entire five-story, 105,000-square-foot west wing of Alexandria Real Estate Equities Inc.'s planned office/laboratory complex at 455 Mission Bay Blvd. South. The only space Pfizer won't have in the wing is about 5,000 square feet of ground-floor retail.

Pfizer also has an option for 50,000 square feet in the omplex's 105,000-square-foot east wing.

Pfizer will move to the complex starting in early 2010, according to a company spokeswoman.
