Boston consistently ranks as one of — if not the — top life sciences clusters in the country. JLL cites the area’s talent, innovation growth and life sciences job opportunities as the top reasons why.
Boston biotech companies receive massive amounts of VC funding and the nearby Massachusetts Institute of Technology graduates more Ph.D. students in the life sciences field than any other school in the nation.
The commercial real estate industry has been keeping a keen eye on Boston’s life sciences growth. Pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly announced in late February that it would be bringing a $700M research facility to the Boston Seaport, a move that Bisnow called “a nine-figure vote of confidence on the future direction of biotech.”
It seems like the Boston life sciences boom is showing no signs of slowing down, but with so much opportunity on the horizon, developers and investors may be overwhelmed. Where should they be putting their money? Where is the best part of the city to build a new facility, and what type of sciences should it cater to?
These topics and more will be discussed at Bisnow’s in-person event Boston Life Sciences Summit on March 31. Click here to register for the event and to read Bisnow’s Covid-19 safety guidelines.
