      Investing in Science and Technology

      Life sciences, biotech, robotics and AI are shaping all our lives and attracting global investors to the thriving UK knowledge economy. Accessing these property markets however, is not always straightforward.

      Cambridge Science Park

      A 50-year project to establish and evolve Europe’s first and most successful science park.

      We explain how global trends play out in the property sector, providing the most granular occupier demand analysis available to help you invest in the economy of the future.

      Selecting the right stock or finding the right development partner to invest in, becomes possible when you put places like Oxford and Cambridge under the microscope and spend time understanding what makes their property markets tick.

      UK and global investors and occupiers come to us for advice, not simply to transact, but because we know our markets, how specialist laboratories are built, and how science and tech occupiers think – knowledge that has been built up over five decades.

      Our front row view of UK research and development across 31 of our region’s innovation districts helps open the door to the fast-moving world of the science and technology sector for our global client base.

      We bring energy and enthusiasm to the sector, enabling creativity and innovation to flourish in the spaces we fund, develop, manage, let, buy and sell
