Alexandria Real Estate Equities spent a good portion of 2021 on a major shopping spree in San Bruno. The prolific life sciences developer paid $328 million in an effort to assemble three separate parcels that for years housed the regional Tanforan mall, as well as JCPenney and a Sears store. It then unveiled big plans to reimagine the once thriving shopping center that fell victim to changing consumer buying trends and the economic fallout of the pandemic. On October 25, Alexandria will appear before San Bruno's City Council to give an update on its proposal for a new, 2 million-square-foot mega campus for life sciences and office tenants, as well as 1,002 new homes on what taken together is a 44-acre site.
