U.S. Life Sciences Property Report
The life sciences real estate sector is at an interesting crossroads in the United States. Asset and neighborhood quality are playing a critical role in attracting tenants and driving leasing success as the supply-to-demand ratio gradually levels. While some markets have a longer road to normalization ahead, key indicators across the U.S. are pointing to decreasing vacancy rates and improving macro fundamentals in the sector. The U.S Life Sciences Property Report reveals five lab sector trends showing opportunity ahead.
