Catellus Development Corp., whose Mission Bay project isautomatically the first in line due to a 1998 agreement, increasedits request from 190,000-sf to 475,000-sf. In addition,Wilson/Equity Office won't have to compete for its 294,000-sf-plusproject at Foundry Square because plans for the project werealready evaluated and approved, according to Gerald Green, planningdirector. That leaves only 115,000-sf for the 1.2 million-sfprojects still on the board by five different developers, includingTishmanSpeyer, which had hoped to build a 557,000-sf project.

While the planning commission has agreed to add expired officeentitlements to the pool of available space – thus adding more than200,000-sf – the chances that TishmanSpeyer's project meetsapproval is slim – unless the city can find additional space or thecompany alters its plans.

Other developers in the running include A.F. Evans – which hopest a 237,000-sf low rise office building at 601 King St., PacificResources is proposing 140,000-sf office space at 801 Market St.and McCarthy Cook hopes to obtain approvals to build 193,000-sf at185 Berry St. for residential units and another 125,000-sf foroffice space.
