PASADENA, Calif. and DURHAM, N.C., Nov. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. (NYSE: ARE), an urban office REIT and the first, longest-tenured and pioneering owner, operator and developer uniquely focused on collaborative life science, agtech and technology campuses in AAA innovation cluster locations, today announced that it is advancing the revolution for complex integrated R&D and next-gen manufacturing in Research Triangle, N.C. through its strategic partnerships with top-tier emerging biotechnology companies, along with its acquisition of purpose-focused development sites in the region, to enable their increased control over the quality of their medicines, patient access, supply chains, and their intellectual property, critical processes and talent.
"We entered the Research Triangle market in 1998, we are incredibly proud today of our position at the vanguard of the life science ecosystem that is leading the integration of R&D with next-gen manufacturing for complex medicines." said Joel S. Marcus, executive chairman and founder of Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. and Alexandria Venture Investments. "Highly targeted, complex medicines represent the future of healthcare and increasingly require integrated in-house manufacturing capabilities to bring these novel treatments from bench to patients. Because of the high value involved in the R&D and manufacturing of these complex future medicines, life science companies are increasingly desirous of controlling these mission-critical functions internally rather than outsourcing them, overseas or domestically. As the need for R&D and biomanufacturing infrastructure grows, innovative companies continue to select Alexandria as their partner of choice for our expertise and experience in designing and constructing these complex Class A facilities, and for our reputation for operational excellence and our vision for highly amenitized campuses that support our tenants in attracting and retaining top talent. Through Alexandria's mission-critical infrastructure, we are enabling revolutionary gene therapy companies to produce their medicines in-house and thereby increase their control over their quality, supply chains and talent within the United States."
Based on the confluence of these important factors, Alexandria, the dominant and pioneering life science real estate owner, operator and developer in Research Triangle, has made a series of strategic acquisitions, including the purchase of 95 acres on Cornwallis Road with numerous approved pad sites for build-to-suit biomanufacturing centers directly connected to R&D-focused buildings. To accelerate the development of this campus, branded the Alexandria Center® for NextGen Medicines, Alexandria is moving to the permitting phase of its latest R&D and next-gen manufacturing site approximating 125,000 square feet in this new R&D and biomanufacturing center.
Today, Mr. Marcus will represent Alexandria as a keynote panel member at the Triangle Business Journal's State of RTP (Research Triangle Park) event. He will be joined by other executives from technology, real estate, science and artificial intelligence sectors to discuss opportunities and challenges facing industries in Research Triangle as the region continues to grow.
