On August 27, 2026, Revolution Medicines, Inc. (the "Company") agreed to lease the entirety of four buildings located at 1600, 1700, 1800 and 1900 Seaport Boulevard in Redwood City, California, comprising an aggregate of approximately 672,000 rentable square feet (collectively, the "Premises"). The Company intends to use the Premises as its new headquarters. The transaction was structured as four separate lease agreements (collectively, the "Leases") with four separate (but affiliated) landlords (collectively, the "Landlords"), who are subsidiaries of Pacific Shores Phase II Associates, LLC.
The Leases have staggered commencement dates beginning on September 26, 2027 and extending through September 1, 2028, with initial terms each ending in September 2042, unless earlier terminated. The Company has options to extend the terms of each Lease for up to three additional five-year periods. Base rent during an extension period will be determined based on fair market rent.
At full commencement of all Leases, the aggregate scheduled monthly base rent will begin at approximately $2.7 million and will increase by approximately 3% annually. The Leases include rent-abatement periods extending through January 2030 representing an aggregate base rent abatement of approximately $23.1 million. The Company will also be responsible for its proportionate share of operating expenses, insurance expenses, taxes and certain other costs and expenses under the Leases.
The Landlords have agreed to provide aggregate tenant improvement allowances of approximately $115.9 million. The Company may also elect to receive up to an aggregate of approximately $40.3 million in additional tenant improvement allowances. To the extent used, the additional tenant improvement allowances will be amortized over the applicable initial lease terms at an annual rate of 10% and payable as additional rent.
The effectiveness of the Leases is subject to the acquisition by the Landlords of the properties subject to the Leases (the "Phase II Closing"). If the Phase II Closing occurs after November 24, 2026 but on or before December 31, 2026, base rent will be reduced by $0.02 per rentable square foot per month. If the Phase II Closing occurs after December 31, 2026 and the Leases remain in effect, base rent will instead be reduced by an aggregate of $0.10 per rentable square foot per month. If the Phase II Closing does not occur by December 31, 2026, the Company may terminate each Lease by delivering termination notice within five business days after December 31, 2026. Further, each Lease automatically terminates if the Phase II Closing has not occurred by April 29, 2027, absent a mutually agreed extension. The Leases contain customary representations, warranties, covenants, indemnification obligations, events of default and remedies.
Farallon Capital Management, L.L.C. ("Farallon") reported beneficial ownership of approximately 6.4% of the Company's outstanding common stock as of June 30, 2026. Investment funds managed by Farallon indirectly own a majority interest in the Landlords.
