2022 March Life Sciences Update
Raleigh / Durham
Market Summary • One of the world’s largest life sciences clusters, North Carolina is home to 735 life sciences companies, 569 of which are located in the Research Triangle region in Raleigh/Durham. • Attracted to an extensive talent pool and stable business environment, several life sciences firms have recently announced plans to expand or develop new facilities. In total, the announcements reflect a $4 billion investment and the creation of 4,000 jobs. BioAgilytix Labs is one of many national companies that expanded their headquarters in 2021, with plans to create 878 jobs and invest $61.5M in Durham. • Demand for life sciences space remains strong, leading to numerous proposed projects (new construction and conversions) totaling approximately 8.2 msf. Nearly all new single-story construction is targeting cGMP/manufacturing occupants while the new R&D buildings will be multi-story facilities. • Rental rates are anticipated to go up as the quality of life sciences space improves. Additional factors such as dwindling land availability, along with increased land basis and increasing construction costs will also accelerate the increase in cost of life sciences space in Raleigh/Durham.
