🇬🇧 Vertex Pharmaceuticals to invest over £300 million at Harwell Campus
Vertex Pharmaceuticals will invest over £300 million in a 155,000 sq ft research facility at Harwell Campus, according to the government's Budget document.
Construction is due to begin in early 2027.
The project is one of three public-private investments announced in the Budget, which total over £1 billion and are backed by almost £70 million in grant funding.
The Budget also confirmed a pilot financing model for the Greater Cambridge Development Corporation, and a consultation on a development corporation for Oxford is due by year-end.
🇩🇪 Illumina extends 1,687 sq m lease at Potsdamer Platz in Berlin
Genomics company Illumina has extended its lease on 1,687 sq m in the Atrium Tower at Potsdamer Platz by five years, securing the space until 2032.
CBRE advised Illumina, while developer and operator BGRE represented the owner.
The premises house Illumina's regional Solutions Center, which combines office, laboratory and training space at a single site. Customers use the centre for hands-on work with the company's sequencing, multiomics and analysis technologies.
The renewal follows recent lettings at Potsdamer Platz to Neko Health, Zentiva and Focused Energy.
