In a major boost to the UK’s life sciences sector, Blackstone portfolio company BioMed Realty plans to deliver approximately 800.000 square feet of additional high-quality purpose-built lab space, following the acquisition of two new sites in Cambridge.
BioMed, a leading provider of real estate solutions to the life science and technology industries, has acquired Cambridge International Technology Park (CITP), a 15-acre site on Fulbourn Road, from Abstract, and a 27-acre land plot at Granta Park from The Welding Institute (TWI).
BioMed Realty owns and operates 14 million square feet of mission-critical lab office space throughout the US and UK – helping 250+ clients discover and advance the next generation of medicines and therapies.
The proposed two new sites are still subject to planning consent.
