City Design Review Board Agrees with Chamber on BioMarin/Whistlestop Project

On Tuesday night, the Design Review Board unanimously supported the BioMarin/Whistlestop project on the 3-acre site at 999 Third St., a former Pacific Gas and Electric Co. property. The project calls for two four-story laboratory and office buildings for BioMarin use, and a six-story, 67-unit senior housing and activities building for the nonprofit Whistlestop.
