Duke University

“Back in 2012, we partnered with the team at Longfellow to redevelop and reimagine the Carmichael Building on North Duke Street which resulted in a fantastic state-ofthe-art lab facility for Duke researchers to conduct their life-changing work. In addition to the Carmichael Building’s facilities, partnering with Longfellow on the Durham ID master planned development has continued to revolutionize downtown Durham with the current buildings at 200 + 300 Morris Street, along with the bright future our region has thanks to collaborative partnerships like the one we see between Duke and Longfellow.” Scott Selig Associate Vice President
BioLabs

“Working with Longfellow Real Estate Partners is a partnership in the truest sense. We feel their team here is an extension of our BioLabs team in all the ways they’ve supported us and helped us feel welcome. One thing I particularly love about our experience with Longfellow is that they are eager to learn exactly how we operate and what our best practices are in order to better support BioLabs and our resident companies. We love the entrepreneurial mindset they’ve brought to our partnership and the fact that they are not stuck in a certain mold. We have the privilege to support almost 40 companies at BioLabs San Diego today, and this number will continue to grow as we expand our facility. Building out a larger permanent site at the Biovista campus shows our shared commitment to and long-term investment in biotech and life science innovation in San Diego. Being part of such a big expansion project makes our relationship with Longfellow even more vital as we work with their team on the ground to accomplish all our collective goals.” Dina Uzri Site Director, San Diego
