Fully Redeveloped Class A Life Science Campus is 85% Leased and the First to Come Online in Torrey Pines in Two Years

The RMR Group (Nasdaq: RMR) announced the completion of Muse at Torrey Pines (Muse), a redeveloped 186,000 square foot flexible and collaborative life science property. As the newest Class A life science project in Torrey Pines, this three-building campus located at 3030, 3040 and 3050 Science Park Road significantly expands leasing opportunities in the area’s thriving research and life science market.

Muse is currently 85% leased, which is an important milestone for the project and a testament to the demand for life science and office space in the San Diego area. Notable tenants include:

• Surgalign Spine Technologies, a global medical technology company focused on elevating the standard of care by driving the evolution of digital surgery, which signed a 94,500 square foot lease, occupying the entirety of 3030 Science Park;
• Organogenesis Inc., a leading regenerative medicine company, which signed a 23,000 square foot lease in 3040 Science Park; and
• Aegis Life, a next-generation biotechnology company, which signed a 9,600 square foot lease in 3040 Science Park.

Additionally, a local farm fresh eatery concept inspired by the Urban Kitchen Group will be located in the restaurant space, offering a variety of seasonal food pairings for both tenants and the general public.

Muse addresses a growing need for research and lab space in San Diego, which has evolved into one of the nation’s top life science clusters. The campus helps meet the unique demands of area tenants with an abundance of exterior space and walking paths that create more connectivity and engagement with the outdoors, a locally sourced food concept, meeting and event space that has optional indoor and outdoor seating, an onsite fitness facility and plentiful bike and surfboard storage.

The Muse campus also features dramatic landscaping and exterior gathering areas, outdoor games and EV charging stations as well as four art installations with sculptures and murals by three California artists. The redeveloped property offers a commanding street presence and glass walls that provide natural light and views of San Diego County. Muse is ideally located just minutes from the Interstate 5 and Interstate 8 freeways, providing convenient access to neighboring communities.

Chris Bilotto, Senior Vice President of RMR, provided the following statement:

“We are proud to celebrate the completion of this cutting-edge campus that brings more life science space to Torrey Pines. By working with The RMR Group’s team of local experts, we have redeveloped this property to meet the needs of today’s most innovative life science companies. Our inaugural tenants are developing some of today’s most crucial therapies and we’re honored to create a space for them.”

Grant Schoneman, Managing Director of JLL in San Diego, provided the following statement:

“San Diego continues to be one of the most active markets in the United States for expanding life science companies. The combination of a vibrant and entrepreneurial biotech community, a large talent pool of scientific minds and one of the nation’s top research universities (UC San Diego) makes San Diego a highly attractive place for life sciences companies.”
