High-Demand Local Labs Draw Increased Foreign Investments

Perhaps one of the unintended consequences of the U.K.'s "Brexit" vote earlier this summer is an influx of foreign investments in a local market: high-tech biomedical laboratory space.

According to reporting today by The Boston Globe's Robert Weisman, roughly half of last year's $46 billion in commercial real estate sales were made by foreign investors.

And with area lab space in short supply, what does this mean for the biomedical industry in the Boston area?
