We’re a fun-loving group of relationship enthusiasts who genuinely love what we do.

Advancing gene cell therapy testing in the RTP
A global provider of chemistry, manufacturing and control analytics, Solvias expanded its global network through the opening of a new cell and gene therapy testing center in North Carolina’s Research Triangle Park. This is the company’s flagship North American site for large molecule analytical services designed to accelerate the development and commercialization of innovative biologics.
Completed in two phases, the 50,000 SF lab and office space features hoteling-style work and research areas, numerous testing rooms, PCR and agent prep spaces and CBBA pods. The site is Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) ready, a milestone that enables the facility to deliver fully compliant, high-quality analytical testing and release services for advanced therapies from early-stage development through commercialization
Ensuring quality control to meet FDA standards
This new facility has state-of-the-art analytical instrumentation, laboratory automation technology and integrated digital management systems, all of which must meet specific FDA standards. Our team oversaw commissioning and coordination of several advanced medical system requirements, including VRF cooling systems, new rooftop and DOAS units, new electrical services, a generator, fan coil units and fan filter units with HEPA filters.

Harnessing the power of science and technology to reshape the future of genomics
Genomic technology firm Biofidelity opened a US headquarters in the Research Triangle Park, expanding its presence in the US market ahead of its first product launch. The company was seeking a prime location with access to a highly skilled workforce and proximity to leading healthcare providers and universities to establish its new, state-of-theart clinical cancer diagnostic laboratory outfitted to attract the best talent in the region to bring break-through technologies to market that enable healthcare practitioners to perform high-precision multi-gene analysis for cancer patients in real-time.
Adhering to mandated laboratory requirements
Designed to house human diseases that pose a moderate health hazard, the lab’s BSL-2 status required the addition of enhanced safety measures and requirements such as biological safety cabinets, proper hazardous material disposal equipment, hand and eye washing stations, and self-closing, lockable access doors. A generator was added to back up the lab’s equipment and freezers in the event of a power outage, and electrical upgrades were implemented in the lab, including the addition of power in ceiling panels and perimeter walls.

Attracting tenants to a freshly revived 1980s corporate campus turned premier life science campus
As part of King Street Properties’ broader initiative to take the EastRidge at Perimeter Park campus to the next level as a premier destination for research and development and life science companies in the Raleigh-Durham market, the buildout of a top-quality spec lab and office was key to attracting tenants. A nearly 6,000-square-foot suite was selected to be converted into a modern flex office/lab model to aid potential tenants in envisioning the campus as a place where their business could thrive.
Solving MEP challenges within a 40-year-old building
Facing the challenge of enhancing an existing facility constructed in the 1980s to support advanced life sciences research, the client sought practical solutions tailored to their specific needs. The scope of work included new electrical services to accommodate the increased load demand, a dedicated outdoor air system (DOAS) unit, a remote terminal unit (RTU), and new exhaust fans. Additionally, the ceiling panels in the space are outfitted with power, vacuum, and compressed air.

Centralizing two business entities into a unique playground for customers in the semiconductor and optics industries
Bühler Leybold Optics, a market leader in thin film coatings offering the semiconductor and optics industries a development and testing experience unique to North America, gained a competitive edge in Cary, North Carlina by bringing two business entities under one roof. The goal: further align with new energetic branding standards and drive collaboration between their research and development and sales groups. At the center of their vision was the construction of a new 7,600 square foot lab space within the existing high-bay manufacturing facility that would serve the company’s optics research and development efforts.
Creating a fully equipped space where innovation can thrive
The new lab space provides cutting-edge technology to support Bühler’s optics research and development initiatives and includes an ISO 10,000 cleanroom, digital optics surfacing lab, and a gray room supporting equipment in the application lab. Complex MEP infrastructure requirements required close coordination for the migration of the existing specialty equipment.

Creating a collaborative biopharma space to drive innovation in cancer therapies
G1 Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to advancing cancer therapies. Located on the first, second, and third floor of the Frontier 700 building, G1 has now expanded their operations into a 60,000-square-foot corporate headquarters in the Research Triangle Park.
Designing for discovery & development
The office areas in G1 Therapeutics offer a sophisticated environment and include workstations, meeting & conference rooms, expansive break areas, and several lounge areas. The first floor is also home to a BSL-2 laboratory outfitted with 35 lab benches, tissue culture facilities, and over 100 feet of built-in lab casework. A striking monumental staircase constructed with rich walnut wood treads and steel mesh risers connects the three floors, with lounge areas at the top and bottom of the floors to promote collaboration and community among employees. Located within the innovative Frontier Campus, this project required careful coordination with ongoing core and shell renovations, ensuring seamless integration and minimal disruption while fostering a collaborative environment.
