the hunters point innovation is to build upon the success of the city's first innovation cluster, mission bay, which was designed from the ground up to be one of the best places on the planet for companies on the cutting edge of new technology. thanks to the leadership, of course, of near brown and mayor newsom, we have a good plan to place this campus, a major research hospital and private- sector companies are around it, and it has worked. today, we have more than 35 life science companies in mission bay, including pfizer, the pfizer center for therapeutic innovation, there -- bayer health care, but it is not just limited to biotech. salesforce purchased in mission bay, one of the last parcels in the cloud computing. the competing firms that will propose to build some 2 million square feet of their headquarters in campus right there employing 8000 employees. now, on to even more exciting news. in addition to winning baseball games, the giants are working with the port on the lot that sits across from coleco from the giants stadium. currently a parking lot. but the site will be transform
