WAE Technologies has taken all 57,000 sq ft of Building 5 at Life Science REIT’s Oxford Technology Park which will make it the park’s biggest occupier.
The firm, which provides technology and engineering to sectors including green energy, medical engineering and automotive, is part of listed Australian giant Fortescue.
Building 5 has just reached practical completion and is on track to achieve a BREEAM Excellent certification.
Ian Harris, director of asset management at Life Science REIT, said: “OTP’s combination of flexible, affordable, and best in class space as well as its proximity to leading, global life sciences institutions is compelling for a wide range of occupiers. WAE will be the largest occupier at OTP and its presence is a major step forward in delivering a vibrant and collaborative community at OTP.”
OTP was acquired by Life Science REIT in May 2022. It now has six completed buildings totalling 230,500 sq ft plus 266,100 sq ft of development space.
Existing occupiers include The Native Antigen Company, Oxford Gene Technology and Oxford Ionics.
