In a deal touted as one of the Peninsula’s largest ever leases, Facebook finalized terms to rent the entire Burlingame Point project which is currently under construction east of Highway 101.

Facebook is expected to headquarter its virtual reality company Oculus at the 18-acre site where 803,000 square feet of commercial space is being constructed at the former Burlingame drive-in cinema location.

18 acres?? SO much room for housing. The positive PR alone would be more than worth it to poor old Facebook.

And how will this massive development help traffic on 101, especially as it is also the main highway for SFO, and traffic now backs up from Ralston through to Millbrae? All these Peninsula cities want non-stop development without taking into account maximum capacity for streets, roads and highways.
