About Alexandria Real Estate Equities
Alexandria Real Estate Equities builds and manages campus-style office and lab space designed for life science, technology, and agtech organizations. It focuses on properties clustered in major innovation hubs, giving tenants integrated facilities meant to support research and collaborative work. The company is recognized specifically for this concentration on science-oriented urban campuses rather than general office space.
The company owns, operates, and develops its properties across North America, with holdings that include completed buildings, projects under construction, and sites planned for future development or renovation. Its tenant base consists of companies working in life science, technology, and agtech fields, and it applies selective underwriting standards when choosing occupants. Alongside its real estate operations, Alexandria also runs a venture capital arm that provides support to companies in these same industries, complementing its property business with direct investment activity.
Alexandria maintains a presence in innovation centers including Greater Boston, San Francisco, New York City, San Diego, Seattle, Maryland, and Research Triangle. It was established in 1994 and is organized as a real estate investment trust included in the S&P 500 index. Its shares are listed on the NYSE under the ticker ARE.
