The Life Sciences Tenant Q1 2024

The start of 2024 presents a tenant-favorable market brimming with opportunities for life sciences tenants that are active in the market and in a position to take advantage of weakened market conditions. With a surplus of space available, life sciences occupiers can upgrade their quality of space, choose from pre-built options, and enhance employee experience for dramatically less than what it would have cost in recent years.

 

Key Takeaways:

  • In the first quarter of 2024, the U.S. life sciences sector raised $10.7 billion in venture capital from over 700 deals, with two notable ventures each securing over $400 million in investment.
  • Many life sciences companies continue to strategically manage their real estate portfolios to cut operational costs, leading to a sustained increase in sublease space availability.
  • As the market evolves, landlords are adapting by building lab spaces speculatively, enabling them to effectively compete with the growing volume of sublease space available.
