Fulcrum BioEnergy Inc., headquartered in Pleasanton, Calif., has signed a seven-year lease for a new 6,300-square-foot office space in Patrick Square, a mixed-use development in Clemson.

Fulcrum’s engineering and technology team will occupy 107 Market St., above SunnySide Café. The office space is undergoing construction by general contractor Hogan Construction and is expected to open by September, according to a news release.

Fulcrum is a clean energy company that develops, owns and operates plants that convert household waste into clean, renewable transportation fuels, including diesel and jet fuel, the release said.

“Ultimately, Fulcrum chose Patrick Square because of the convenience and ease of having everything we need for our employees, clients and strategic partners,” Rick Barraza, Fulcrum vice president, said in the release. “As we continue to grow our engineering and technology team, the quality of life, natural resources, amenities and availability of first-class engineering talent make both Clemson and Patrick Square the perfect location for Fulcrum’s engineering office.”

Shelby Dodson and Tommy Molin, of CBRE, arranged the lease on behalf of Patrick Square’s owner and developer, JMC Communities. Fulcrum was represented by Sorrel Hoover of Keller Williams Western Upstate.
