Setting the standard in high-tech facility development.

Houston, TX

In the last decade, Hines has developed more than 3.5 million square feet of space for leading companies in the biotechnology, life sciences and medical industries.

Buildings developed for medical or laboratory use require extensive engineering intervention from the earliest stages of design. The same emphasis on quality, responsive service and attention to detail that distinguishes Hines' office developments marks the buildings the firm has developed and managed for clients such as Aventis, Bristol-Meyers Squibb, Corixa, the Food and Drug Administration and major medical institutions.

Hines’ biotechnology, life sciences and health care properties have included such features as:

  • Structural elements designed to handle heavy equipment loads and to dampen vibration
  • Structural bays capable of accommodating various lab space plans
  • Floor-to-floor heights capable of accommodating intense EP system distribution
  • Specialized HVAC high-efficiency particle-exhaust filtration including VAV and DDC controls.
  • Specialized filtration and treatment of wastewater streams
  • Power redundancy for fail-safe reliability
  • Design with operating cost-efficiency in mind
  • Amenities focusing on collegiality, collaboration and recruitment potential
  • Compliance with changing regulatory standards
