Maximize efficiencies and minimize costs

Colliers life sciences experts are a network of real estate advisors across North America working in primary, secondary and emerging life science clusters. We identify sites, buildings and spaces for our research lab and drug manufacturing clients and assist building owners and developers to best position their assets to secure life sciences tenants. We are experts at structuring lease and purchase transactions that reflect the significant capital investment required to support research and manufacturing operations while addressing the life cycle of funding for these operations.
