Not your typical life science development…

Developing all 14 acres of land at the same time has been no small feat. Four buildings are slated for completion at the end of 2023 with the last building ready for occupancy by Spring 2024. Once complete, the development will integrate both transformative research and the community itself with green space and indoor-outdoor restaurants and retail.
