CAMBRIDGE

Cambridge is one of the world’s leading life sciences clusters, and another of the principal markets of the Golden Triangle. The University of Cambridge has been pivotal to developing the heritage of excellence in the sector and continues to produce and attract top talent as well as delivering innovation that propagates spinouts. There are multiple science parks and life science schemes across the city centre, North Cambridge and the South Cambridge clusters including Cambridge Science Park, The Cambridge Biomedical Campus and Babraham Research Campus, amongst a range of others.

The considerable strengths of the local market come at a cost, however. Land availability is low and significant unsatisfied active demand from within the life sciences sector means that competition for space is very high. Consequentially, the market has experienced a historic shortfall in supply, with development failing to keep up with demand levels. The considerable development pipeline is expected to ease this imbalance over the medium term, supporting further growth within the sector locally.
