Growing life science market fuels sale of Rockville, MD buildings

Amanda Davis

WASHINGTON, DC – JLL Capital Markets announced it has completed an equity raise for the acquisition of 5640 Fishers Lane and 12441 Parklawn Drive, two lab buildings totaling 74,500 square feet in Rockville, Maryland.

Jim Meisel 

JLL arranged the joint venture equity partnership between GlenLine Investments and Singerman Real Estate for the acquisition, the first of a programmatic joint venture between the firms focusing on life science opportunities in the Suburban Maryland market.

GlenLine and Singerman intend to implement a significant capital improvement plan to reposition the buildings into Class A lab space, with an anticipated delivery starting in second quarter 2021.

 5640 Fishers Lane and 12441 Parklawn Drive are positioned at the epicenter of the United States’ response to the COVID-19 pandemic, immediately adjacent to the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Disease (NIAID) headquarters and located within a cluster of public and private sector life science and pharmaceutical institutions.

The project has tremendous vehicular and transit connectivity to the greater Washington, D.C. metro area via Interstate 270 and the Capital Beltway and is located one block from the Twinbrook Metro station (Red Line) and numerous walkable amenities.

 Recently vacated by NIAID, who had occupied the properties since delivery and invested significantly in reusable infrastructure, the buildings will be reimagined into state-of-the art, Class A lab buildings well-positioned within the 4th largest life science market in the US.

 The JLL Capital Markets team was led by Senior Managing Directors Jim Meisel and Andrew Weir, Managing Director Matt Nicholson and Director David Baker.

 JLL Senior Vice President Danny Sheridan and Managing Director Amanda Davis have been retained by GlenLine and Singerman to provide agency leasing advisory services.
