The Alexandria Story
Alexandria began as a garage startup with a vision to create a new kind of real estate company uniquely focused on serving the life science industry.
We named the company after Alexandria, Egypt, the scientific capital of the ancient world, renowned for its iconic lighthouse whose beacon today still evokes the noble pursuit of scientific advancement and revolutionary discoveries.
Over the last 27 years, we have established ourselves as the leader in owning, operating, and developing collaborative and dynamic life science, agtech, and technology campuses in key urban innovation cluster locations
First Mover in Developing Urban Life Science, AgTech & Technology Clusters
Alexandria was founded on the belief that four ingredients are essential to creating world-class life science, agtech, and technology clusters where innovative companies can thrive and succeed: LOCATION + INNOVATION + TALENT + CAPITAL.
Our cluster model unites cutting-edge science and technology with leading scientific and managerial talent and strategic investment capital in best-in-class locations immediately adjacent to the world’s top academic institutions.
