Trammell Crow Company Closes on Land for Fulton Labs Development

Construction Groundbreaking for Innovative Life Science Facility Expected in July

CHICAGO — June 11, 2020 — Trammell Crow Company (TCC), one of the largest commercial real estate developers in the United States, today announced it has closed on the land that will be used to build Fulton Labs, a 423,454-square-foot facility that is being developed to help solve chronic lab space shortage throughout the Chicago region.

The 1.3-acre plot of land that TCC purchased is located at 400 N. Aberdeen St. in the heart of Chicago’s vibrant Fulton Market neighborhood. The company has mobilized onsite and expects to break ground on the innovative life science facility in July.

“We are excited to take this next step and move forward in creating a new center designed for innovation and collaboration among life science companies,” said Johnny Carlson, principal of TCC’s Midwest Business Unit.

The Fulton Labs facility will span 16 floors, with 12 floors of wet or dry lab space, dependent on the tenant’s needs. The building is designed to offer researchers flexibility, scalability and innovation, with features such as a column-free and long-span layouts. Further, all lab spaces are designed to meet VC-A vibration criteria, an important step for enabling reproducible results. The full specs are available here.

“With Fulton Labs’ advanced R&D infrastructure, flexible lab spaces, and full floor launchpad for early stage companies, we are confident that this facility will help to promote growth in the Midwest’s life science industry,” Grady Hamilton, managing director of TCC’s Midwest Business Unit.

CBRE is marketing the project for lease. For Fulton Labs leasing information, contact Sara Spicklemire at sara.spicklemire@cbre.com.
