Life Sciences Update | 2022 October

FAST FACTS 5

Boston

Market Summary • Big Pharma continues to drive the life sciences market, with notable leases coming from Takeda, AstraZenca, and Vertex. All three leases were signed in Q2 2022 for a total of 1.5 msf. • Greater Boston has become an increasingly dominant center of the life sciences industry, with a continued regular international audience as well as an influx of scientists looking to contribute to the growing environment. • Nearly 13.9 msf of lab product is either under construction or in preconstruction phases, with 48% being preleased. Total inventory of lab product is likely to exceed 40.0 msf by 2025. • A lack of readily available, developable land in Kendall Square, the biotechnology industry center, led to the formation of new industry area hotspots. These include Boston’s Seaport District and numerous areas within Watertown, with continued growth in Waltham, Somerville and Lexington. • Sublease space has become increasingly prominent in the past six months. With growing uncertainty surrounding the current economic conditions, several life sciences companies are pausing hiring, and seeking alternative uses for their space.
