Life science REIT IQHQ said Tuesday it had entered into an early lease renewal and long-term extension with Generate:Biomedicines at the Innovation Park life science district in Andover, MA. Innovation Park houses Generate’s 75,000-square-foot cryogenic electron microscopy laboratory, one of the largest laboratories of its type in the U.S.

IQHQ acquired the Innovation Park campus between 2020 and 2021 and developed it into a 340,000-square-foot life science hub for leading biotechnology and life science manufacturing companies in the greater Boston market. “We are proud that Generate:Biomedicines, a global leader in generative biology, has made a long-term commitment at IQHQ’s Innovation Park district to accelerate breakthroughs in therapeutic discovery and development at their cutting-edge CryoEM laboratory,” said Tracy Murphy, co-CEO and co-founder of IQHQ.

Innovation Park is one of four life science districts IQHQ owns in Greater Boston. Leasing at the park is overseen by Colliers’ Curtis Cole and Tim Allen.

Capital Square will open its 20-story mixed-use building at the corner of Dawson and Lenoir streets near Red Hat Amphitheater in February 2025. The tower, named Maeve, has 297 apartments,10,500 square feet of ground-floor retail and an 8-level parking deck.

The units are mostly studio, one and two bedrooms with a handful of three-bedroom apartments on the top floor.

The tower amenities include a residential lounge, fitness center, coworking lounge, private work pods, shared conference room, pet spa and rooftop lounge on the 20th floor. The eighth floor has an outdoor amenity space with a zero-edge swimming pool, grilling stations, fire pits, cabanas, loungers and an outdoor bar area.

The Triangle Business Journal reports that the development’s construction cost was more than $110 million. Part of the development was funded by Capital Square’s CSRA Opportunity Zone Fund VI, with the construction loan provided by First National Bank.

The retail space has room for four retailers, including two full-service restaurants.
