We have significant experience representing real estate investors and life sciences companies in a broad range of real estate matters. Real estate investors often turn to Ropes & Gray to create programmatic relationships with real estate developers and operators focused on life sciences real estate as well as single asset joint ventures for the development and redevelopment of real estate for life sciences use. We also represent life sciences companies in the acquisition and development of major facilities for R&D, manufacturing, laboratory, distribution and general office space.  On all our matters, Ropes & Gray is integral to all aspects of the transaction including construction and permanent financing, ground and occupancy leasing (including sale-leasebacks), federal, state and local land-use permitting and addressing environmental maters.
