We’re onsite with Longfellow Real Estate Partners at CamLIFE in Cambridge
We’re set to deliver state-of-the-art facilities and high-quality lab space in Cambridge as soon as Mid-2025
Longfellow Real Estate Partners, the largest privately held investor and developer of life science buildings, announced today they had signed a fixed-price contract to reposition their CamLIFE campus with us.
Construction on CamLIFE is set to begin immediately which will bolster the 42-acre parkland campus while delivering high-quality, fitted lab space, curated amenities, and expansive green space in Cambridge. Delivery of the lab space will begin in Mid-2025 with the Cam 3 building coming online first, with Cam 1 & 2 shortly thereafter.
Longfellow will deliver the same high quality and sustainable fitted lab space that we have across our 16 million square foot portfolio,”
Adam Sichol
Co-Founder & CEO of Longfellow Real Estate Partners
At CamLIFE, our team is creating the next generation of developments to meet the demands of the United Kingdom’s innovation economy and support its future growth.
The signing of this contract signals a significant milestone for Longfellow UK and further strengthens our commitment to the UK life science market,
This initial phase will be the foundation of what we hope will be a more extensive, broader vision for the campus.”
Tom French
UK Lead and Development Director
Longfellow’s commitment to sustainable development underpins the environmental ethos, the campus, and its community. The first phase is targeting BREEAM Excellent and EPC A. The adaptive re-use design approach has led to a 40% whole-life embodied carbon reduction relative to a new-build net-zero equivalent.
With three decades of experience bringing complex life science, advanced manufacturing, research and technology projects to life, we are well placed to partner with Longfellow UK to create sustainable, state-of-the-art laboratory buildings. We will also work throughout this project with SES Engineering Services who will lead on design elements and in particular the specialist Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) systems required.
We are delighted that we have been selected to lead Longfellow’s first UK project to create state-of-the-art laboratory facilities in this world-renowned location,
Everything we do is guided by our purpose of working together to create the places, communities, and businesses of tomorrow – these are cultural traits we are proud to share with Longfellow and we will work with their team on delivering this important project.”
