Time and technology are the topics that arise more than a few times in this Life Science issue, specifically in our expert industry articles. Construction takes time, but the new technology that life science companies are creating and using often can’t wait for a space to be completed. In his article on page 14, Adam Palmer says “firms developing new products, tools, and technologies in this very competitive and quickly evolving sector frequently require expedited construction schedules so that research, development, and manufacturing can move forward without disruption.”

AEC firms are creating new ways to manage their timelines in response to the challenges the industry is facing, in order to accommodate their clients’ needs. On page 22, Kerrie Julian of Margulies Perruzzi provides a roadmap for leasing lab space, which includes partnering with an experienced lab design professional.
I encourage you to read Cushman & Wakefield’s update on the life science real estate market, published in October. The report gives a comprehensive overview on the Boston market, and breaks down the current trends in the life sciences industry. Check it out at https://cushwake.cld.bz/
High-Profile promoted and covered the 2022 Life Science Real Estate Investment Forum, hosted by RevistaLab. It was the first-of-its-kind summit, which offered networking with like-minded professionals and discussions around life science investing. Read some key takeaways from the event in Mike Hoban’s article on page 31.
In October, I attended the CRETECH 2022 conference in New York. The amount of data-driven technology that is being offered to owners and property managers is mind-boggling. Both the construction and real estate markets have been notoriously slow to change. The companies that are developing, utilizing and selling these new technologies will be leading the change in both industries. HP will be creating a special Property Technology (PropTech) section in our publication, highlighting the latest developments and updates in this exciting arena. Reach out to me if you’re interested in learning more.
We will be sharing our own journey of the last quarter century with you all in our special 25th Anniversary edition, which will be sent out as a separate issue in December. If you’re celebrating a company anniversary or want to share your own firm’s journey over the years – be it a company culture shift, change in leadership, expansion into a new region, or your firm’s mission or keys to success – we want to know. Turn to page 38 for the details.
November is a time of giving thanks; a time of reflection. I want to take this opportunity to thank our advertisers, the companies and organizations that share monthly news and insights, and our readers, for continuing to make High-Profile a trusted go-to industry publication.
I am honored to run this company, and to continue highlighting the changemakers, visionaries, and those taking strides to make a positive impact on the industry, our communities, and the world. I’m excited for the next 25 years of HP, and to provide a platform for the stories that have yet to be told.
Enjoy the read,
Anastasia Barnes
