Southern California Life Sciences Conference

Why You Don't Want to Miss This Conference

What You'll Learn From This Commercial Real Estate Event:

Life Sciences in real estate refers to an asset class dedicated to providing both lab and office space for tenants involved in the study and development of scientific discoveries. Life sciences spaces can either be built from the ground up or converted from an existing office or industrial building. The race to find solutions that could help combat the coronavirus piqued investor interest in the biotech subsector on a worldwide scale. Life sciences real estate is broken up into two categories: research and development, or R&D, and biomanufacturing. The design of each lab varies based on the type of science and the equipment and technology needed for R&D and biomanufacturing. 

San Diego remains a very strong market for life sciences and is one of North America’s largest hubs. The continued growth of the industry has been fueled by public, private and academic collaboration, incredibly strong anchor tenants and a talented workforce. 

• Why has San Diego become such a hot life science market and how are owners adjusting to meet this demand?
• Considering the changes in office leasing activity, are industry leaders repurposing office buildings into life science properties?
• Which amenities are in high demand for life science users currently?
• Will rising interest rates and supply chain issues impact office owners and life science firms inking deals?
• What does leasing activity look like? Where is there vacancy? What percentage of buildings under construction are pre-leased? 
• In regards to supply and demand, how important is a project’s speed to market? 
• How has drug discovery and vaccine development impacted life sciences real estate innovation? 
• What conversion and adaptive reuse projects are underway in Southern California? 
• What effect has hybrid/remote work had on research and manufacturing? What technologies are now integral in the workplace?
