Leasing and facility strategy for life-science, biotech and research occupiers.
Life-science and biotech tenants are innovation-driven occupiers needing flexible laboratory, research and office space with controlled environments and specialised services. We help owners secure life-science operators, structure leases that reflect fit-out and infrastructure investment, and position assets to capture demand from a fast-growing research and commercialisation sector.

FAQ
Life Science: common questions
- What do life-science tenants need from a building?
- Controlled environments, lab-grade services capacity, ventilation, power, waste handling and flexible layouts for bench and office use.

- Yes. Biotech, pharmaceutical R&D and university spin-outs are expanding, driving demand for purpose-built and adaptable lab space.
- Can an existing commercial building suit life-science use?
- Often yes, subject to floor loading, services capacity and ventilation. We assess feasibility before you commit to works.
- What lease terms are typical?
- Medium-to-long terms with options, structured around fit-out contribution and the operator's funding and growth runway.
- Do life-science tenants strengthen a precinct?
- Yes. Research clusters attract allied tenants, talent and funding, lifting demand and rents across the asset.
