1030 O'Brien Dr.
R & M Properties has submitted an application to construct a new three-story research and development building, totaling 67,688 square feet in size, of which 5,787 square feet is proposed for a ground level commercial space in the Life Science (L-S) zoning district.
The project site encompasses four contiguous parcels located at 980-990, 1010, 1020 and 1030 O’Brien Dr., which are held in common ownership. Currently, there are four existing buildings across the four parcels. As part of the project, two of the existing buildings, located at 1020 and 1030 O’Brien Dr., would be demolished, and their lots would be merged into a new parcel for the proposed new structure at 1030 O’Brien Dr. While the remaining parcels would not be merged, the proposed project will be reviewed such that development regulations, including density, gross floor area, height, parking and open space, are comprehensively evaluated across the entire project site rather than on a parcel-by-parcel basis.
The ground floor of the new building would include a main entry lobby, commercial space that would host public facing uses and loading spaces along with 193 covered parking spaces. Levels 2 and 3 would be tenant spaces dedicated to life science and related uses.
The overall proposal includes:
- New building: 67,688 square feet
- Net increase in gross floor area: 29,570 square feet
- Commercial space: 5,822 square feet
- Building height: 45 feet
- Parking spaces: 194 spaces
- Open space: 31,276 square feet
- Landscaping: 17,967 square feet
- Total lot size: 156,120 square feet

- Architectural control
- Below market rate housing agreement
- Environmental review
- Lot line adjustment
- Lot merger
- Use permit
Current status
