01 BUILDING CONCEPT

The Evolution Of Research Labs

Research lab facilities have historically been located in industrial locations where a vibrant tenant experience is an afterthought. 200 Kansas is radically reimagining this paradigm, creating an amenity-rich hub for imaginative life science and R&D firms who want to foster an immersive workplace experience where employees can flourish professionally and personally.

All of our design efforts, from land planning and architecture through selection of building materials, art, interior layouts and features, common spaces, technology, amenities, and activity programming, are designed to encourage interaction and collaboration, inspire ideation and promote health and human well-being.

This is the next generation of research labs for the next generation of innovators.

02 HOSPITABLE THINKING

A Revolutionary Tenant Experience

200 Kansas is designed to offer an immersive, inspiring experience that extends well beyond the building walls.

Tenants will be welcomed by a thoughtfully designed mix of amenities, indoor-outdoor gathering spaces and health and wellness features that are more reminiscent of a destination hotel than a workplace. Throughout, you will find creative touches and features that promote physical health and encourage social connections, from a curated art program to an open-air rooftop deck with an outdoor kitchen to an athlete-designed fitness center and spa-inspired locker room.

Experience a workspace your team will crave and your competitors will covet.

03 INSPIRED ARCHITECTURE

A Foot in the Past, A Foot in the Future

At 200 Kansas, we've reimagined the historic factories and warehouses of Potrero Hill to create a contemporary space that honors San Francisco's pioneering spirit. Our architecture is inspired by the unpretentious, utilitarian structures that once housed the city's original innovators and commerce builders. Join us in a modern workspace that pays homage to the past while propelling you into the future.

Experience a workspace that embraces the past while propelling you into the future. Our modern metal panel facade systems and bold building cladding pay homage to the corrugated metal sidings of yesteryear, while adding a contemporary twist. The gray tones and vertical lines through metal joints and glass frit patterns evoke the spirit of the original warehouses, while symbolizing growth and vitality in a neighborhood that's constantly evolving.

Inside, jade green accents nod to organic and environmentally focused themes while purposeful use of ceramic finishes as accents pay homage to the nearby Takahashi Building, a former ceramics manufacturing facility that was recently designated a historic landmark.
