Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc.
About
Alexandria Real Estate Equities is a real estate investment trust that owns, operates and develops campuses for life science, technology and agtech companies in key urban innovation clusters. Its Cambridge presence places it in one of those clusters, and it belongs to the Kendall Square Association. The company focuses on collaborative, dynamic campuses, and it describes itself as the leader in its field after more than 25 years of work.
Alexandria began as a garage startup in 1994 with the idea of a new kind of real estate company focused entirely on serving the life science industry. Its name comes from Alexandria, Egypt, the scientific capital of the ancient world, whose iconic lighthouse the company treats as a symbol of the pursuit of scientific advancement and revolutionary discoveries. That founding focus on life science still defines the company’s real estate today.
