Biotech Firm Takes All of Alexandria’s Lake Union Life Science Development

Adaptive Biotechnologies Corporation signed a 12-year, full-building lease at 1165 Eastlake Avenue E., a 100,000-square-foot headquarters office/laboratory development in Seattle. Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. is building the project with sweeping lake views within the prominent Eastlake Life Science Campus in the heart of its Lake Union life science cluster.

The new HQ enables Adaptive to expand near its existing facility at 1551 Eastlake Avenue E., also owned and operated by Alexandria. The ground-up development project at 1165 Eastlake is expected to deliver in 2020, and the biotech firm is expected to occupy the new space in 2021.

In addition to tripling its footprint in Seattle, Adaptive’s new waterfront headquarters will feature inspiring and sustainable design, leading-edge laboratories, creative office space and a collection of amenities, including future direct access to water sports, an open-air plaza for gathering and a rooftop deck with panoramic views of the Space Needle, Lake Union and the Seattle skyline.
