PROJECT DETAILS

This dynamic life science development repositions two existing buildings, adds a ground-up lab and office facility, and introduces a state-of-the-art parking garage, along with vibrant amenities like an F&B hub and a fully equipped fitness center. The vision extends outdoors, with site improvements creating inviting spaces for entertainment, collaboration, and recreation, including sports courts.

The project features extensive mechanical upgrades, including a complete refresh of the existing central utility plant (CUP) and the introduction of new electrical services. The interiors are meticulously crafted, encompassing common areas and advanced R&D laboratories, while the exterior benefits from reskinning and gutting to align with modern standards. A seamless blend of ground-up development and tenant improvements, this multi-story transformation also entails the demolition of existing structures and the installation of critical utilities, requiring precise shutdowns and coordination.

With a focus on sustainability, the project is LEED-certified, integrating spec suites, low-voltage systems, telecommunications, security infrastructure, and essential MEP upgrades. The design also includes thoughtful elements such as art coordination, interior finishing, restaurant amenities, and sleek signage, creating a holistic and forward-thinking environment. This development epitomizes innovation, with multi-project scheduling, core and shell work, landscape design, and careful attention to FF&E and accessories, setting a new standard for life science spaces.
