A Landmark Achievement in the Life Sciences Sector

Amidst the financial reflections, Alexandria Real Estate Equities has also been making headlines for its achievements beyond the stock market. The company recently celebrated a significant milestone by winning its first International TOBY (The Outstanding Building of the Year) Award in the Life Science category. This prestigious award was bestowed upon the 8 Davis Drive property, a cornerstone of the Alexandria Center for Advanced Technologies Megacampus in Research Triangle.

The TOBY Awards, recognized globally for honoring excellence in building management and operations, highlighted 8 Davis Drive among four global finalists. This recognition is not just a testament to the property’s operational excellence but also to Alexandria’s pioneering role in developing collaborative Megacampus™ ecosystems in life science innovation clusters.

The 8 Davis Drive property is part of a 50-acre site acquired in 2012, now transformed into a vibrant multi-tenant ecosystem for research and development and biomanufacturing. The campus boasts a range of amenities, including a locally sourced eatery, fitness center, event space, and a central courtyard, catering to the needs of its approximately 100 tenants. With a regional asset base exceeding 3.8 million RSF, Alexandria Real Estate Equities stands as the largest owner and operator in Research Triangle Park.
