The Millbrae Station Multimodal Development — A Once-in-a-Generation Opportunity

active• millbrae

Millbrae sits atop one of the most extraordinary transit assets in California — an intermodal station where BART, Caltrain, and eventually high-speed rail converge — and the city is finally moving to build a true transit village around it. Millbrae reached a settlement agreement with the California High-Speed Rail Authority that will allow the city to develop land west of the Millbrae BART station while keeping plans for high-speed rail tracks intact — with high-speed rail expected to eventually share aboveground station space with Caltrain and BART. Community Development Director Andrew Mogensen told the City Council: "Whether it's traveling in the neighborhood, downtown Millbrae, SFO, the world, we want to make this a seamless, connected transit hub — make it the best we can, be a world-class station." On the BART side, Republic Urban Partners is proposing a mixed-use transit-oriented development on 9.5 acres of BART property adjacent to Millbrae Station — four buildings including 320 market-rate residential units, 80 affordable units reserved for veterans, a 150,000-square-foot office building, a 164-room hotel, and ground-floor retail. The decisions made in the next few years will shape the city's identity for decades.
