Inaugural Quarterly Breakfast

As a follow-on to the successful 2018 Life Science Real Estate Development Symposium, the sold out Inaugural Quarterly Breakfast event included a variety of real estate and life science professionals, as well as academics, public officials, architects, contractors, engineers, legal professionals, consultants and professionals from related sectors that have a stake in NYC’s life sciences market. 

BioLabs are the premier co-working spaces for life science startups — unique places where entrepreneurs can test, develop and grow game-changing ideas in healthcare and life sciences. The NYC Builds Bio+ inaugural breakfast event highlighted four of these ventures, that will foster the next wave of life science companies in New York City. In a panel moderated by Gensler, a developer and a property owner discussed their plans to convert life science space to commercial use. The closing sessions featured a leader from NYC EDC who spoke on incentives and programs that NYC EDC can deploy for the real estate community around life science projects and developers/property owners who are evaluating or converting a property for life science use. The final talk gave an update on NYC Builds Bio+, its membership program, the 2019 Calendar of Events, working groups and invited community participation.
