The New York Times reports on new data centers in New York City and the opportunities that they bring to NYC’s various sectors: Industries like financial services, law firms and online commerce companies now demand the use of data centers. The Sabey Corporation hopes to tap into the city’s growing life sciences industry, which Mr. Sabey said “could eventually make up as much as 20 percent of our business in New York.” The city has begun several efforts to spur the technology and life sciences industries, including the recent announcement of a technology campus at Roosevelt Island. The data center at 375 Pearl Street could help provide the infrastructure to support the city’s initiatives, said Kathryn S. Wylde, the president and chief executive of the Partnership for New York City, a network of business leaders. “We are top in the world when it comes to scientific research,” she said, “but what we haven’t done is commercialize this research, and this data center will help us do this.” Read the rest of the article, and discover how NYCEDC is growing the city’s Biosciences sector.

Take a look at the completed first tower of the Alexandria Center for Life Science at East River Science Park, a state-of-the-art research and development campus that will serve as the flagship location for future bioscience expansion in New York City.

The new facility is a 310,000-square-foot, 15-floor tower, which is to serve as the anchor for a three building, 1.1 million square-foot life science campus on Manhattan’s East Side. The first tower includes a winter garden and café, restaurant, conference center, and laboratories and office space. The first tower and open space utilize the site location and view of the East River. Construction is expected to begin this spring on the second tower.
