• The nucleus of the San Diego life sciences market lies in Torrey Pines, surrounding University of California San Diego, and drawing its talent pool from the new graduates. • The abundance of talent, high quality of life of Southern California and strong anchors such as Illumina and Scripps Research help foster growth in the region. • As the market continues growing, landlords have expanded eastward towards Sorrento Mesa, converting older buildings into new lab space. Over the last four years, 37% of the 2.8 million sf in new inventory has been a result of conversions. • Torrey Pines commands the highest rents in the life sciences sector and continues to attract companies like Pacira Pharmaceuticals who recently leased approximately 90,000 sf at 10410 Science Center Drive. • Amenitized projects continue to achieve the most success in terms of rental rates and leasing velocity due to tenants utilizing their real estate as an important recruiting and retention tool. • The San Diego life sciences region has currently experienced five straight years of positive net absorption and all submarkets have surpassed or are approaching all-time high asking rates.
