     Join ULI Boston as we kick-off our Re-Entry webinar series on Thursday, May 28th. Part one of this series will focus on the life science economy in Metro-Boston.  

     

    This sector has held its own during the pandemic with increasing investments as it continues to grow. Join us to discuss these changes from a real estate perspective while we discuss topics such as:
    • Are there distressed assets on the market that may be retooled to accommodate growth in this sector?
    • How are companies evaluating new space that come online in key markets?
    • Where are companies targeting future investments?
    • Will more life science firms be shifting their campuses or investments to the suburbs to capture employees who may feel safer in a suburban setting?
