New arrival swells park’s status as cancer research centre

Fahy Gurteen, a Dublin-based biotech business, is the latest arrival at Cambridge Research Park, where it has taken a six-year lease on 8,000 sq ft of laboratory and office space. As specialists in cancer research, Fahy Gurteen will be in good company at CRP, which is home to the UK headquarters of biotech firm Horizon Discovery.

Fahy Gurteen will take over the fully fitted laboratories at Building 7300 recently vacated by Horizon, which has moved to the adjacent 17,500 sq ft Building 7100.

“The synergy of working alongside fellow researchers such as Horizon is just one advantage of being at CRP,” says John Hynes, director of Fahy Gurteen. “Being able to step into ready-made, fully-fitted laboratories is another. Adding to that Cambridge’s reputation as an international biotech centre and the prime location makes this an ideal opportunity.”

“We are delighted to welcome Fahy Gurteen to the Park,” says Dominic Moore of landlords Mountgrange Real Estate Opportunity Fund. “Together with Horizon they’ll form the core of a new cluster working in cancer research and add to the Park’s reputation as key centre for cutting edge bio- and hi-tech industries”.

A key attraction for fast growing companies at CRP is the range and flexibility of the accommodation on offer, which greatly facilitates on-site expansion. In addition to leasehold options the landlords are offering pre-let and land sale options on 26 acres of development-ready land.
