  • “Boston is a deeply paradoxical environment,” said Travis McCready, head of life sciences markets in the Americas for JLL, a commercial real estate advisory. “On the one hand, we are the most over our skis of any other major market in the United States.

  • “Decision making and the behavioral context of biomanufacturing is a lot more complex than the decision-making context of traditional lab R&D,” adds Travis McCready, head of life sciences, Industries Americas, JLL. “Companies’ biomanufacturing location decisions are driven by accessing a uniquely skilled workforce, as well as specialized real estate facilities. And since CGT biomanufacturing is now frequently occurring in parallel with R&D at the clinical-trial stage, more firms are seeking leasable biomanufacturing space within close proximity to their R&D operations, providing the top life sciences markets a further edge in fostering innovation.”
