The fascinating surge enjoyed by the science property scene has been one of the standout stories of the past decade with the likes of Liverpool and Manchester both boasting thriving life sciences ecosystems.

The government is also keen to see growth in this sector, naming life sciences as one of its priority areas in the industrial strategy.

All of this means opportunity for the property and development industry as occupiers and investors demand high-spec lab space and innovation campuses that rival the best in the world.
