Biotech Firm Expands at Mink Building in Manhattanville Factory District
Quicksilver Biosciences, a venture capital-backed biotech startup based in the Manhattanville Factory District in West Harlem, expanded at the Mink Building at 1361 Amsterdam Ave. into a larger private lab suite. Details of the lease were not disclosed. The tenant is developing a versatile CMOS-integrated biosensor platform for rapid genomic identification as it aims to achieve target sensitivities exceeding current state-of-the-art methodologies.
“We always enjoy watching and helping our tenants grow,” said Scott Metzner, president of the Janus Property Company, the developer of the Factory District, “but it is especially gratifying when they grow with us.
“One of the many advantages of leasing in the Factory District for early-stage companies is that we allow them the flexibility to move around the campus without penalty as their needs change,” he continued. “This is something we’ve successfully accomplished with numerous tenants over time.”
