Centrally located near the intersection of U.S. Hwy. 101 and Interstate 92, 400|450 Concar is uniquely positioned less than 25 minutes away to San Francisco and 20 minutes to Palo Alto via automobile and approximately 40 and 20 minutes to either city, respectively, via Caltrain.
The property is directly adjacent to the Hayward Park Caltrain station in an area rezoned by the City of San Mateo, encouraging Transit Oriented Development (TOD).
Dignitaries presiding at the ceremony were: San Mateo Mayor, Maureen Freschet; Managing Directors of Pearlmark, Douglas W. Lyons and Tim McChesney; Hines Senior Managing Director, Cameron Falconer; Hines Senior Managing Director and CEO - West Region, Asia Pacific and Australia, James Buie.
“We are pleased to have this exciting new project underway, and are confident that it will resonate with the community,” said Hines Senior Managing Director Cameron Falconer.

Construction is scheduled for completion the fourth quarter of 2016.
