IQHQ Signs Biotech Firm to Early Lease Renewal in Andover

Life science REIT IQHQ said Tuesday it had entered into an early lease renewal and long-term extension with Generate:Biomedicines at the Innovation Park life science district in Andover, MA. Innovation Park houses Generate’s 75,000-square-foot cryogenic electron microscopy laboratory, one of the largest laboratories of its type in the U.S.

IQHQ acquired the Innovation Park campus between 2020 and 2021 and developed it into a 340,000-square-foot life science hub for leading biotechnology and life science manufacturing companies in the greater Boston market. “We are proud that Generate:Biomedicines, a global leader in generative biology, has made a long-term commitment at IQHQ’s Innovation Park district to accelerate breakthroughs in therapeutic discovery and development at their cutting-edge CryoEM laboratory,” said Tracy Murphy, co-CEO and co-founder of IQHQ.

Innovation Park is one of four life science districts IQHQ owns in Greater Boston. Leasing at the park is overseen by Colliers’ Curtis Cole and Tim Allen.
