  • How are investors and developers making deals in an increasingly competitive life sciences market?
  • What is the projected long term value of investing in Boston's life science market? At what point is there a heightened risk associated with some of these life science assets?
  • How are GMP facilities, and what we know about them in Boston, evolving?
  • How are owners, developers and life science companies finding more space and what role is repositioning playing to create viable development locations?
