According to a new report from CBRE, life-science lab space in the U.S. has emerged as a coveted sector of commercial real estate as hefty increases in funding and employment have fueled both demand for lab space and construction of it in leading U.S. life-science markets.
Companies actively seeking life-science real estate in the first quarter targeted a cumulative 19.3 million sq. ft. of lab space in the top 12 U.S. life-science markets, according to CBRE’s Midyear U.S. Life Sciences report. This represents more than 12 percent of the total existing life sciences space across these markets–a rate of demand that is fueling ongoing construction of lab space.
