Life Sciences 2020: The Future is Here
MARKET SUMMARY
FAST LAB STATS
• Life sciences markets typically develop around research institutions where new ideas are spawned. UC Berkeley is centrally located in the market which also has proximity to UCSF and Stanford. As developers build facilities to support life sciences companies, life sciences hubs are formed. The main hubs in the East Bay are located in the North 880 corridor in the towns of Alameda, Berkeley and Emeryville. • The East Bay is primarily a start-up, equity- backed market. These companies dominate the market and drive the demand for space. • Proximity to the rich talent pool and institutional research facilities are the main motivators that drive life sciences companies here. Locating to the East Bay also gives firms access to VC funding and incubator space, as well as access to supply given the competitive nature of the Bay Area market. • Demand for life sciences space is robust and will help drive the supply increase, as well as investment in R&D real estate. • There is essentially no life sciences inventory in the CBD, so all growth will be in the suburban markets.
