Attracting occupiers to new locations: Hear London Irish Rugby Club on placemaking and finding the ideal location at The Future Of West London 2 October

In the past month, two of the biggest private companies in U.S. real estate, Tishman Speyer and Thor Equities, have launched new divisions to invest in property created for the fast-growing life sciences sector.

In the UK, Legal & General created a £1.8B science property partnership with Bruntwood earlier this year, with a big life sciences angle. Bruntwood has invested in the sector for years, but its portfolio has so far focused on the North West and Birmingham.

But London is a ghost town when it comes to commercial property companies looking to invest in life sciences property, even though it is an epicentre for the industry in Europe.

What That HS2 Announcement Really Means, And Should You Worry?
What That HS2 Announcement Really Means, And Should You Worry?  

The UK government has announced an independent review, chaired by Douglas Oakervee, into whether and how to proceed with the High Speed 2 project (HS2). It is the culmination of long years of doubt about the project from Tory backbenches, and more widespread alarm at the escalating costs, now said to reach £100B.
