Bridge
Business Center shows off Bucks site
Philadelphia Business Journal
November 7, 2008
The Bridge Business Center held an open house on Friday
to showcase a newly renovated building on the 30-acre
Bucks County campus, a portion of which the Bucks
County Community College will begin leasing in January.
BCCC will lease 3,500 square feet of
space for chemistry classes, becoming one of the first
tenants in the 50,000 square feet of renovated laboratory
and research-and- development space.
Keystone Redevelopment LLC, w hich is
redeveloping the Bristol Township parcel that once
housed Rohm and Haas Co. Inc. research laboratories,
has also received a commitment for another 1,500 square
feet of space from a firm involved with laser
spectroscopy R&D and has proposals out to secure
commitments for another 18,000 square feet.
The entire park is geared toward attracting
life science companies, Robert Loughery, a managing
member of Keystone Redevelopment Group said. A total
of 170,000 square feet of existing lab and office
space is being converted for reuse by life science
firms and 60,000 square feet of new industrial flex
space will be added to the center, which is located
off of Route 413.
“We are not standing in an industry
that is completely flat on its back right now, they
have challenges but one of the things we can offer
them right now is affordable office and research space,”
Loughery said of the space, which is being leased
in the low to mid teens per square foot. “The closer
you can get people to their homes , where they’re
not driving as much that adds a lot of opportunity
to grow and expand and that is why I think our site
in Bucks County will do well.”
The site is located within a state Enterprise
Zone and Keystone Innovation Zone, which makes tax
breaks and other incentives available to companies
that locate there, Loughery said.
