PMB, a leading healthcare real estate developer, and Montgomery Street Partners, are developing Coal Creek Innovation Park—the  first speculative purpose-built life sciences campus in Boulder County. This project provides 270,000 square feet of fully furnished lab suites to enable quick occupancy for growing companies.  

“Life sciences companies are attracted to Colorado’s highly educated and skilled workforce and ecosystem of educational and research institutions. While historically it has been difficult to find available lab space in Boulder County, projects like Coal Creek Innovation Park are changing that,” said Erik Abrahamson, CBRE.  

Situated on the Town of Superior’s vibrant Main Street, Coal Creek Innovation Park is a mere ten minutes from Boulder and twenty-five minutes from Denver. Tenants will enjoy an array of amenities, including fitness and conference facilities, nearby retail and dining, trail networks, and RTD bus station.

Coal Creek Innovation Park is designed to meet the specific and technical needs of life sciences companies. Features such as 100% outdoor air return in the labs, generator backup, and expanded electrical load capacity ensure that biotech firms locating here can focus on their scientific endeavors, secure in the knowledge that their real estate requirements are fully met.

Over the past decade, Colorado's Front Range has seen substantial economic expansion, attracting a surge of innovators and companies from coastal regions seeking affordability and a vibrant lifestyle. This boom extends notably to the state's burgeoning life sciences ecosystem, where BNBuilders plays a pivotal role in constructing new facilities and enhancing existing ones for rapid research and development deployment.

Historically constrained by limited lab-ready spaces, the region is now witnessing a significant uptick in availability, fueled by new developments and significant investments from both private and public sectors. Key landmarks include the Fitzsimons Innovation Community in Aurora, BioMed Realty's acquisition of Flatiron Park in Boulder, and Lincoln Property Group’s initiative along the high-tech U.S. 36 corridor, all bolstering Colorado's life sciences ecosystem.

However, challenges persist, particularly in converting existing structures into efficient lab-office hybrids. Factors such as exterior space, structural considerations, and amenity integration pose complex design hurdles, especially in Boulder where emphasis lies on retrofitting existing buildings rather than new construction.

BNBuilders addresses these challenges with comprehensive services, leveraging advanced technologies like BIM coordination and laser scanning for precise project execution. Committed to sustainability and safety, BNBuilders ensures projects meet rigorous standards, contributing to Colorado's transformation into a leading hub for health innovation.
