Persistent Demand for New Biomanufacturing/GMP Space
Leasing activity for Biomanufacturing/Good Manufacturing Process (GMP) facilities slowed in 2022 as tenants postponed real estate decisions amid economic uncertainty. Some life sciences companies deferred plans to lease or build their own GMP space due to capital constraints and instead opted to engage third-party drug manufacturers. While demand for space remains significant, there has been a moderate increase in vacancy in most markets as construction ramped up.
The bulk of large-capacity Biomanufacturing/GMP facilities (owner occupied and leased) are in California and the Northeast Corridor (Figure 26).
