Life Sciences on the Rise: 2021 North American Report

MARKET SUMMARY • At over 38 msf of lab inventory, San Francisco Bay, a founding region of the biotechnology industry, continues to experience aggressive industry expansion by its occupancy base. • The San Francisco Bay Area’s highly educated workforce, coupled with proximity to elite research institutions such as UCSF, Stanford and UC Berkeley has made the Bay Area one of the most elite and active Life Sciences clusters in the world. • The world’s largest life sciences venture capital and private equity concentration has been key in funding growth companies across the Bay Area. • Biotechnology and pharmaceuticals represent most of the life sciences leasing activity in the market, though the medical device and health tech sectors are extremely active as well. • Demand has been driven by companies from early-stage startups through the largest life sciences companies and there is no sign of a slowdown in sight. • Market demand has created a continually landlord-favorable market with developers responding with 5.2 msf of deliveries over the last six years, 3.0 msf presently under construction and more than 16 msf at various stages of planning, with both the current and planned construction dominated by speculative projects—both ground-up and conversions from office. • The majority of life sciences product in the Bay Area is located across three major markets: San Francisco proper, the San Francisco Peninsula, and the East Bay.
