About Alexandria
Building the Future of Life-Changing Innovation®
The Alexandria Story
In 1994, we founded Alexandria as garage startup with $19 million in Series A capital and a bold vision to create the first real estate company uniquely focused on the essential life science industry and the infrastructure needed to support its mission-critical work.
We named the company after Alexandria, Egypt, the scientific capital of the ancient world, renowned for its iconic lighthouse whose beacon still evokes the noble pursuit of scientific advancement and revolutionary discoveries.
Over the last three decades, we have established ourselves as the leading owner, operator, and developer of collaborative Megacampus™ ecosystems for life science companies in the nation’s top innovation clusters.
Our Proven Cluster Model
Alexandria pioneered the life science real estate niche based on the principle of “clustering” that is rooted in the DNA of the life science industry.
We identified four critical components for life science clusters and companies to thrive: location, innovation, talent, and capital. Our life science clusters fuel scientific translation and collaboration, accelerating the commercialization of novel medicines to advance human health.
