ABOUT

Life Science REIT plc is a specialist property business focused on the UK’s growing life science sector.  The Company’s portfolio of assets is located across the Golden Triangle of research and development hubs in Oxford, Cambridge and London’s Knowledge Quarter.

Proximity to centres of academic excellence and innovation is critical for both emerging and established life sciences businesses and as a result demand for space is acute across the Golden Triangle.  This has accelerated as a result of funding at both the Government and venture capital level, capitalising on the UK’s market leading position in life sciences and skilled talent pool.  At the same time, supply is constrained, and it is this imbalance that Life Sciences REIT is addressing. 

The Company listed on AIM in November 2021 and in December 2022 moved to the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange.  In that time, it has established a diverse portfolio of assets which range from a 20-acre science park currently under development through to fully let buildings.

In London, it’s portfolio includes Rolling Stock Yard in the heart of the Knowledge Quarter, where the Company has successfully completed a conversion of office to laboratory space and the building is now occupied by [three] of the Syncona owned businesses. 

In Oxford, its assets include the Oxford Technology Park, which is well located for Oxford University, but offers more flexible and affordable space.  Currently under development, this park has potential for nearly 500,000 sq ft of life sciences space and is currently home to The Native Antigen Company and Williams Advanced Engineering. 

In Cambridge, its assets include the Cambourne Business Park which is also being repositioned as a dedicated life sciences and technology hub, establishing it as the premier science park west of Cambridge.  Current occupiers include Carl Zeiss AG and MTK Wireless Limited.
