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 highly complex 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 30 years, we have established ourselves as the leading owner, operator, and developer of collaborative mega campuses for life science companies in the nation’s top innovation clusters.
Our Proven Cluster Model
Alexandria has identified four critical components for life science clusters and companies to thrive: location, innovation, talent, and capital.
Our proven cluster model unites cutting-edge innovation with leading scientific and managerial talent and strategic investment capital in best-in-class locations immediately adjacent to the world’s top academic institutions.
