INTRODUCTION
Life science has been touted as a future growth sector for the U.S. economy for decades. Where technology combines with healthcare, life science has become a broad and growing sector of the economy that encompasses everything from genetic engineering to medical device technology to pharmaceutical research and development, and much more. Over the past eight years, two sets of forces have been driving the acceleration of growth in this sector. • Demand for health services is soaring as the population ages. • The technology enabling life science has led to greater supply of new products, leading to historically high investment in this sector. Life Science is one of the fastest-growing sectors of the U.S. economy with many characteristics that appear recession-resilient.

Growth in life science is being driven by a combination of technological advancements and an aging population.
Employment During the 1990s technology boom, life science was expected to be a growth sector for the U.S. economy, but the growth was slow in coming. Much of the growth in this sector has taken place since 2000, especially in the current economic expansion. Using the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ employment in research and development in the biotechnology industry as a measure of the growth of the industry, there was almost no job growth in the 1990s. From 1990 to 2000, employment in biotechnology R&D barely changed (+0.2% per year) while total U.S. employment rose by 1.9% per year. But since the beginning of 2000, the sector has grown nearly five times as fast as the economy as a whole, adding 85,000 jobs. Roughly 70% of that job growth (61,000) has taken place in just the past eight years.

RECESSION-RESILIENT? When compared to the overall economy and the tech sector, the life science sector’s recession-resistant performance is likely due to the fact that the industry is strongly driven by rising demand caused by an aging population and the nature of the industry. In turn, product development is propelled by technological change and innovation. As the technology that enables product development has advanced, the sector has continued to grow.

Population The baby boom generation, broadly defined as people born between 1946 and 1964, is one of the largest age groups in history, surpassed only by millennials. When the first boomers began to retire in 2011, the baby boom generation totaled 76.9 million people. It is estimated 1 that since that time, roughly 10,000 people have been retiring every day in the U.S. and that rate of retirement will continue until roughly 2029.
Explosive growth in the 65-and-older population has created rising demand for drugs, therapies and medical devices to extend and improve quality of life.

The massive number of retirees are also, on average, enjoying longer lives. In 2000, the average life expectancy in the U.S. was 76.6 years, and by 2016 it made a significant increase to 78.7 years. The combination of the aging of the population and increased longevity means that by 2030, there will be 73 million Americans aged 65 or older, equating to 20.6% of the population. In 2010, the population counted only 40.5 million people in the same age bracket.
The 65-and- over population will account for nearly three- quarters of the population growth between 2016 and 2030.

The amount of venture capital investment indicates that there are a growing number of private companies developing products in the life science sector. But an equally important source of research funding in the sector is the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The NIH is the primary federal government agency charged with conducting and supporting biomedical and behavioral research. NIH provides grants to support research at university and medical research centers across the U.S. According to the Congressional Research Service, NIH funding has increased from $11.0 billion in 1994 to $37.3 billion in 2018 and is projected to reach $39.3 billion in 2019. Taken together, total investment in life science in the U.S. has surged in the current expansion. Since 2013 total research funding has increased by 44.1%, or 7.6% per year, more than three times as fast as the annual growth rate recorded in the previous 13 years.

Not surprisingly, most of these markets have at least one leading life science research institution - either a major research university, a major medical research hospital, or both. These research organizations act as the catalyst for innovation and product development for the life science sector and attract R&D funding, especially from the NIH.

In key life science real estate markets the inventory of lab space is rising twice as fast as the overall office inventory.
Impact on Real Estate Life science companies have been an important driver of economic growth and commercial real estate demand in the markets in which this sector is concentrated. These companies require specialized lab space for research along with office space. The rapid growth in this sector has generally outpaced supply and kept lab market vacancy rates tighter than overall office markets. INVENTORY The life science sector generally does not constitute a major percentage of real estate space in any market. But its share has increased over time as the amount of space used for life science has grown faster than the overall market. In the major markets highlighted in this report the total life science inventory has increased nearly 10% since 2014, while total office inventory in these markets has risen at less than half that pace (4.7%). LAB VACANCY In nearly every major market where the life science sector is concentrated the lab vacancy rate is declining as the demand for this space has grown even more rapidly.

Since the 2008 recession, the vacancy rate for lab space has fallen dramatically, especially in the core life science markets. In Cambridge, MA the vacancy rate has fallen below 1.0% while in San Francisco and East Bay (Oakland) vacancy has plunged. And in most cases, the markets that have experienced an increase in vacancy like New York City are adding substantially to inventory. San Diego for example has added more than 2.0 msf of space (+14.5%) in the past four years.
8 CUSHMAN & WAKEFIELD
Cushman & Wakefield is tracking approximately 125 msf of lab space in the 11 U.S. markets. Key Canadian life science markets like Toronto and Montreal do not separate out lab space from their overall inventory. Life science space is in high demand. The vacancy rate for this space is 8.4% in these 11 markets, well below the 11.6% vacancy rate for all office space in these markets and the national office vacancy rate of 13.3%. In extreme cases like Cambridge, outside of Boston, the vacancy rate has fallen to 0.9%.

RENTS In an environment of low vacancy, asking rents for lab space generally command a premium in the marketplace. Overall, asking rents for lab space in the 11 markets covered in this report average approximately $36.00 NNN, significantly above the $31.29 NNN reported for office space in the U.S. in the third quarter. Extraordinarily tight markets are experiencing extraordinary rents for life science properties, including Cambridge, MA which has reported triple net rents around $85 per square foot. On a market-by-market basis the differences between rents on lab space and office space are generally small for most markets, but because some markets have very large differences, the premium for lab space averages approximately 19%. But in some markets, like Boston, the extraordinary tightness of the lab space market has pushed rents into the stratosphere. In addition, the strong demand for space and resulting low vacancy has boosted rents for lab space faster than overall office rents. Since 2008 average asking rents in the U.S. office market have increased 17%. The average rent for lab space over this time has increased approximately twice as fast at 33.2%.

OCCUPANCY COSTS Laboratory occupancy costs have been rising significantly over the last several years, consistent with the overall health of the economy and the increased funding and growth of the life science sector. The rise in rental rates is driven by required return on landlord investment, typically a minimum target of 7-10% return on capital. As building and land prices rise, so do rents and operating expenses. When rising tenant improvement costs are factored in, there are significant occupancy cost increases. Real estate is typically the third-largest spend for a life science company, behind employment and R&D costs. While the natural inclination is to focus on base rent, there are other occupancy costs that are factored in as well (operating expenses, property taxes, utilities, common area maintenance, etc.) accounting for approximately 30-40% of the total occupancy costs.

MARKET SUMMARY
Baltimore is home to Johns Hopkins University, the nation’s top academic recipient of research grant funding. This gives the Maryland area a huge talent pool from which to pull when attracting top talent to the life science field. The region ranks fourth nationally for its population attaining an advanced degree. Johns Hopkins is ranked the third best medical school and the University of Maryland Baltimore County ranks fifth for Most Innovative School by U.S. News and World Report. Currently, Maryland is home to 500 core biotechnology firms, 2,260 life science companies, and numerous federal agencies. Location also plays a big part in the attractiveness of the market as 80% of the U.S.
pharmaceutical industry is within a two-hour drive of the Baltimore/DC Metro area. At the University of Maryland BioPark, Paragon Bioservices—a 28-year-old contract research and manufacturing firm that started with just two people in 1990—significantly expanded its space at the research park and also leased 138,000 sf of warehouse space near the BWI Airport for additional GMP operations. Given the lack of available lab/R&D space within the two research parks in Baltimore, developers are expected to commence construction soon on new facilities to meet demand.

MARKET SUMMARY
FAST LAB STATS
At its core, medicine is about saving lives. But it’s also a real estate driver. In 1977, Cambridge, Massachusetts became the world’s first city to govern the handling of genetic material through the Cambridge Recombinant DNA Technology Ordinance. At the time, DNA intelligence was in its infancy. However, it was well known that the discovery would be critically important to understanding diseases and to the future development of pharmaceuticals. Massachusetts – and Cambridge in particular – has been at the forefront of biotechnology since the field’s inception. While Cambridge benefits from proximity to academic prowess, it was the community’s early acceptance of biotechnology that enabled the industry to flourish. From a real estate perspective, the needs of the biotechnology community are drastically different from most other sectors. Unlike an office tenant, who tends to consider relocation only when a lease expires, a life science company’s decisions are based on two things: scientific discovery and funding. Once one of these is achieved, the firm is on the fast track to relocate into bigger space. Increasingly limited lab availability means many tenants must now consider new construction. Build- to-suit doesn’t typically work for these types of firms as their time frames are too short. They need space as soon as possible and existing or under-construction buildings are frequently the only sufficient options. The ongoing growth of the industry, coupled with the subsequent surge in demand for lab space, means lab rents in greater Boston are at historical highs – and rising.

MARKET SUMMARY
New Jersey has historically been a life science hub, gaining the moniker of “Medicine Chest of the Nation.” The industry continues to play a major role in the state’s economy as many of the largest life science corporations are located in the Garden State. New Jersey is in an ideal location for many life science companies due to its close proximity to New York City and its central location in the heart of the nation’s Northeast Corridor, connecting Boston and Washington, D.C. via I-95. While currently home to 13 of the top 20 bio- pharma companies, the state has experienced a slight decline in the number of big-pharma companies since the recession due to both mergers and acquisitions and some firms migrating out of the state. However, since 2014, the number of life science operations has risen to over 3,280.
Many mid- and large-sized pharmaceutical firms occupy chunks of office space in Northern and Central New Jersey as either global headquarters or regional offices. Life science office leasing activity totaled over 1.7 msf in 2018. Major transactions were inked by Teva Pharmaceuticals, Integra Life Sciences, and Insmed, Inc. Additionally, Quest Diagnostics recently purchased a land site at ON3 and will build a 250,000 sf lab facility at the campus. Currently, the Northern and Central New Jersey lab inventory totals 15.2 msf, 64.3% of which lies in Morris and Somerset Counties and the Greater Princeton area. After lab vacancy peaked in 2014, vacancy declined by 790 basis points by the close of 2017. However, the rate has swelled in 2018 due to Bristol-Myers Squibb’s 1.15M sf R&D campus being vacated in Hopewell.

MARKET SUMMARY
Life science is an emerging component of New York City’s economy, and increased venture capital funding as well as significant tax incentive programs are helping to accelerate growth in the area. As a result, demand for commercial laboratory space is underserved, but developers are responding as the amount of lab space currently in the development pipeline will nearly double the market’s inventory. Already maintaining the largest block of commercial lab space in New York City, Alexandria Real Estate Equities is set to begin construction on the $700-million, 550,000-sf North Tower of the Alexandria Center for Life Science in 2020. This project will be the final phase of the east side medical corridor development and is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2022, increasing
its total footprint to nearly 1.3 msf. In addition to the North Tower, Alexandria has further plans to build out lab space at two recent acquisitions, Pfizer’s former 350,000-sf headquarters near Grand Central and the 175,000-sf Bindery in Long Island City. Taconic Investment Partners and Silverstein Properties are also investing in the local industry, converting a former industrial building into a life science center on the west side of Manhattan. Now named the Hudson Research Center, the 320,000-sf property already houses the new 42,000-sf headquarters of the New York Stem Cell Foundation. The project’s $20 million first stage will include 15,000 sf of commercial lab space to be completed by January 2019, and following stages may include up to an additional 135,000 sf.

MARKET SUMMARY
One of the country’s leading life science hubs, Philadelphia is home to world renowned academic research institutions, hospitals, large pharmaceutical companies and innovative biotechnology startups. The region’s rich history in medical discovery, robust biomedical employment base, and one of the largest recipients of grant monies nationally, have made Philadelphia a leader in life science research, with core concentrations in gene and cell therapy, biotechnology, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, diagnostics and health IT. All this, coupled with Philadelphia’s relative affordability and high quality of life make it a choice location for life science companies, which is why 80% of U.S. pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies have a presence in the New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware corridor. The region is the third largest recipient of NIH grants nationally, with three-quarters of the $1.0 billion in annual funding going to the academic and research institutions in University City. These universities and hospitals are investing in tech
transfer and incubation programs, which are spinning off successful biotechnology and life sciences startups like Spark Therapeutics, a gene therapy company that recently announced they are expanding their R&D operations and adding 500 new jobs over the next five years. The three main life sciences clusters in the region include: University City, where the major academic research institutions and hospitals are located; the Navy Yard, a redeveloped former military facility that includes GlaxoSmithKline U.S. headquarters and lab space for other life sciences tenants; and the PA suburbs, where big pharma R&D campuses and manufacturing plants are located. About 8.6 msf of the region’s 17-msf of lab inventory is in R&D/Flex space, with a majority of that located in the suburbs. The broad range of lab facilities located across submarkets and types of space, from class A new construction office to R&D/Flex, means rents can run from $20/sf to over $50/sf full service gross equivalent.
