How is a bear market helping scaling biotechs find space to grow? Trends & Insights: The Future of Commercial Real Estate

- Investing
Investors are funneling billions of dollars into the life sciences industry, helping early-stage biotech companies—responsible for bringing nearly two-thirds of new products to market in the past decade—discover new therapies, make a positive clinical impact and grow. But first, they need to find more space—and finding any lab space in today’s market is nearly impossible, with demand high and supply nearly dried up.
Meanwhile, midsize biotech companies are facing a bear market and trying to conserve cash to weather the slowdown. One way they’re doing this: by subleasing excess space for the near future. This has given scaling companies a huge opportunity to get the space they need with more flexible leases.
How do these deals work? Robert Coughlin, managing director of JLL's life sciences practice, explains.
