Life sciences

Real estate requirements for life sciences companies are technically complex, capital intense and atypical for real estate service providers whose principal focus is office or warehouse space.

Time-to-market and funding are the crucial factors driving innovation and successful new pharmaceutical product launches, which in turn, require laboratories, vivaria, pilot plants and manufacturing facilities. Avison Young’s specialists understand the pharmaceutical product life cycle as well as the technical complexities that can create significant budgetary and scheduling risk.

We’ve successfully addressed the risks that surround real estate decision making throughout all phases of the product life cycle and across all technical aspects of planning, designing, engineering and constructing any type of life science space.
