UC Berkeley, SKS Partner on 36-Acre Innovation Hub 

A joint venture between The University of California, Berkeley and San Francisco-based SKS Partners unveiled Berkeley Space Center at NASA Research Park, a planned 36-acre innovation hub at Moffett Field in Mountain View. It’s intended to further cement the state of California as a global innovation leader.  

“California’s innovation and drive is not limited to Earth,” said Gov. Gavin Newsom. “Berkeley Space Center will help lead the state’s space tech development by bringing together top space leaders in academia, government, and industry to foster new technologies and breakthroughs.” 

CBRE has been appointed as the exclusive R&D/lab leasing agent for Berkeley Space Center. The firm’s Ben Knight, Bob Steinbock, Gregg Domanico, Michael Domanico and Matt Gutierrez will market the space for lease. 

The environmental entitlement process has gotten underway and is expected to last approximately two years, with construction tentatively scheduled to begin in 2026.
