Life-Sciences Developers Remain Positive on Long-Term Outlook

Despite another slowdown in venture-capital funding in the second quarter, developers in the life-sciences space still feel largely confident about the lab real estate sector.

That is, in select hubs, submarkets and types of development.

Dan Belldegrun, co-founder and CEO of Breakthrough Properties LLC, said right now is a tougher moment for the biotech sector, but he’s still seeing plenty of space requirements and needs from, especially, Big Pharma.

Breakthrough, a joint venture of Tishman Speyer Properties LP and Bellco Capital LLC, earlier this year raised $3 billion in direct capital and co-investments for its life-sciences real estate development. The firm has nearly 5 million square feet of development in its pipeline, Belldegrun said, even amid greater economic uncertainty.
