39K-SF life sciences building in Irvine Spectrum seeks biotech upstarts

The Irvine Spectrum now has a life science facility open for early-stage Orange County tenants in the business of biotech.

The 39,000-square-foot Hatchlabs @ Irvine Spectrum office, a collaboration between healthcare developer NexCore Group and life science real estate development platform Hatch Spaces LLC, features eight lab suites and a lab-enabled shell space.

The property, at 3 Burroughs, was acquired a year ago and subsequently renovated to become the “first post-incubation life science facility in Orange County,” its owners say.

Initial tenants include El Segundo medical equipment manufacturer Sky Biologics Holdings LLC, Walnut Creek biotech company Seegene Technologies Inc., and Garden Grove biotech company Phase Scientific Americas.

The Hatchlabs facility features conference rooms, community spaces and a shower room.

The property “offers unparalleled direct access to Orange County’s deep and talented science and manufacturing labor pool, world-class universities and incubation programs focused on the sciences, convenient proximity to the San Diego and growing Los Angeles life science clusters and adjacency to three major research and clinical hospitals,” Hatch Spaces co-founder Allan Glass said in a statement.
