Net-Zero Carbon Life Sciences, Tech Facility To Be Built In Boulder

Set to break ground in 2024, Ridgeway Science & Tech will be Colorado's first net-zero carbon, all-electric life sciences building and technology campus.

A new flexible office and lab space project will be built in Boulder, Colorado to support the area’s burgeoning life sciences and technology industries. According to JLL, Boulder and the Northwest Corridor is number 8 among the 2023 top life sciences clusters.

Ridgeway Science & Tech is being developed by Boulder-based real estate investment and development firm Conscience Bay Company (CBC).

“Boulder is home to 17 federally funded labs. In addition to providing an excellent quality of life, we’re surrounded by top-tier academic and research institutions, enjoy pro-innovation business policies, are home to the highest percentage of advanced degree holders, and the second-highest density of Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers in the nation – all of which have contributed to outsized demand for high-performance office and lab space,” said Daniel Aizenman, Director of Development and Design at CBC. “We saw an opportunity with Ridgeway Science & Tech to create a flexible, state-of-the-art office and lab campus equipped to support breakthroughs across a variety of fields – from life sciences, biotech, medical device research and production to robotics, aerospace, and technology.”
