Aralon Properties has secured a lease for its entire property at 499 Forbes Blvd. even though it is still under construction.

InterVenn Biosciences, a biotechnology company that focuses on the treatment and early detection of cancer, has signed a 10-year deal for 142K SF in the South San Francisco property, as reported by the San Francisco Business Times.

This deal furthers InterVenn’s footprint in the city, as the company will also maintain its 20K SF lease at 2 Tower Place in South San Francisco.
