Philly Life Sciences are Booming!

As the sixth-largest life sciences market in the country, Philadelphia and the surrounding South Jersey/Delaware Valley region has myriad locations for your technical and scientific real estate requirements. Wolf Commercial Real Estate has the team of professionals to locate and procure life science properties for sale or lease for your specific growth, expansion, or relocation requirements amid increasing levels of venture capital investment and aggressive construction of new lab spaces in the area.

Philadelphia ranks behind only Boston, San Francisco, San Diego, Raleigh-Durham, and Seattle on a recently issued commercial real estate list of the top 14 centers for life science innovation and growth in the USA. This rating system is based on four categories: market maturity, a combination of wet lab inventory, rental rate, vacancy rate, tenant demand, and venture capital funding; market momentum, which considers the past five years’ rental and pricing growth, as well as capital markets activity; market innovation, or the volume and concentration of both employment and top-tier life sciences institutions; and future growth, composed of the facilities construction and conversion pipeline, plus the growth expectancy over the next five years, according to Philadelphia Magazine

Of those four categories, Philadelphia is among the top markets for market momentum and market innovation. In addition, the report showed Philadelphia was the only one of the 14 national markets studied to show a net gain in life science growth and investment in 2020. Reason: The COVID-19 pandemic also accelerated the city’s life sciences expansion, especially as the need for lab space, testing materials, and vaccine research increased.
