Lab and research campus properties for biotech tenants.
Market snapshot
These figures describe Office Buildings & Corporate Campuses (8.1.6), the segment that Life Sciences & Research Properties sits within. They are not figures for Life Sciences & Research Properties on its own.
Not sized separately. Office landlords share one classification with retail, industrial, medical and hotel property, so any figure here would describe all commercial leasing under an office heading. The distinction matters more now than it ever has: office is the one asset class where occupancy has structurally reset, and averaging it with warehouses hides exactly that.
