Life Science Firm Hemogenyx Relocates to Mink Building

The Janus Property Company has signed a lease with Hemogenyx Pharmaceuticals LLC at the Mink Building in the Upper West Side’s Manhattanville Factory District adjacent to Columbia University and City College. Hemogenyx Pharmaceuticals’ new 10,000 –square-foot lab will include two clean rooms purpose-built by Janus, allowing it to pursue commercialization of its major cell therapy product candidates, 

The tenant will be moving to the Mink Building from SUNY Downstate’s campus, becoming the third recent leading life science firm to relocate to the Factory District seeking growth following Quentis Therapeutics from Alexandria Center in Kips Bay and Volastra Therapeutics from J Labs in Lower Manhattan.  

These tenants join Quicksilver Therapeutics, BioBus, Renal Research Institute and a DASNY health facility, bringing the building to approximately 80% leased to life science and health care tenants. This is in addition to Harlem Biospace and Hypothekids that are also tenants in the District.
