CHANGING FACE OF Research Triangle (NC) projections: INNOVATION • Life sciences likely to represent half or less of new tenants over the next decade • IT, materials technology, environmental sciences likely to represent roughly one- third • Scientific associations, finance, services likely to represent the balance • Small companies and start-ups matter more
- 23. Innovation centers need more diverse, flexible buildings Smaller floors for start- Larger floors for Mix of floors maximizes ups, legal, finance, etc. collaborative research flexibility
- 24. Proximity matters…mature companies seek 40-80k SF floorplates…and proximity to other innovators Alexandria REIT development at Kendall Square links buildings to create large floorplates

- 41. Including more flexible buildings Smaller floors for start- Larger floors for Mix of floors maximizes ups, legal, finance, etc. collaborative research flexibility
