Take a look at the completed first tower of the Alexandria Center for Life Science at East River Science Park, a state-of-the-art research and development campus that will serve as the flagship location for future bioscience expansion in New York City.

The new facility is a 310,000-square-foot, 15-floor tower, which is to serve as the anchor for a three building, 1.1 million square-foot life science campus on Manhattan’s East Side. The first tower includes a winter garden and café, restaurant, conference center, and laboratories and office space. The first tower and open space utilize the site location and view of the East River. Construction is expected to begin this spring on the second tower.

I do not follow happenings in the biotech space, but it is pretty awesome to see NYC making strides in attracting more bioscience companies and research facilities and committing serious resources towards the effort.  I am pretty excited to see science, engineering, and technology finally rise in importance and prominence within NYC among many other long standing industries.  This is the future of NYC.
