Enobia Pharma has subleased 22,000 square feet of office space at 55 Cambridge Parkway in Cambridge, where the Montreal-based life sciences firm will establish a U.S. headquarters.

Grubb & Ellis’ Paul Delaney and John Coakley, associate vice presidents in the office group who focus on the Cambridge submarket, along with Hank Amabile, senior vice president, also in the office group, facilitated the transaction on behalf of Enobia Pharma.

"We are pleased to establish a more significant presence in Cambridge, which is a major biotech center," said Ted Harding, senior director of human resources at Enobia Pharma. "The location, as well as the space’s pleasant and professional environment, puts us in a good position to continue to attract the outstanding life sciences talent in the Boston area."

Enobia Pharma’s space at 55 Cambridge Parkway was originally leased by Verenium Corp. The building totals nearly 280,000 square feet and is owned by Dallas-based INVESCO Real Estate.
