Trends driving this dynamic sector are global, but our local markets are still driven by the physical requirements on real estate. Our deep market knowledge helps you spot opportunities, source stock and create value.
Doing a deal in the science and technology sector means keeping up with movements in demand across local markets, knowing your AI from your biopharma, and the differences in the needs of life science researchers and voice recognition software developers.
Our long history of developing for the science and technology industry, coupled with our Arc-focussed research programme, allows global investors to benchmark their deal against the most comparable assets out there.
This data is crucial, but sourcing those coveted off-market opportunities only happen when you have good old-fashioned relationships. We’ve enjoyed some in Oxford and Cambridge for decades.
We’ll help you get the best possible result from a sale or acquisition by finding credible buyers and motivated sellers, running the smoothest processes and securing the best deals.
