Nordblom Co. plans to break ground in November on a new 270,000-square-foot R&D and biomanufacturing development at its 141-acre Network Drive campus in Burlington.
Burlington officials this week approved the development at 25 Network Drive, a development site that had earlier been marketed for a build-to-suit office building.
The complex will include integrated office, lab and biomanufacturing space with 32-foot clear heights, including mezzanines,
Newmark represents ownership in leasing. Construction is expected to begin in November, said Mark Roth, an executive managing director for Newmark.
Burlington has emerged as a growing suburban life science cluster since EMD Millipore completed its new research campus on Summit Drive in 2017.
While the Interstate 495 corridor and the Worcester area have seen the greatest interest from developers of biomanufacturing projects, Nordblom’s Burlington facility is not the only one in the Route 128 corridor: Cambridge-based Generation Bio Co. has made plans for a 104,000-square-foot biomanufacturing facility in Waltham after signing a $104 million lease earlier this month.
