The 87,000 sq ft facility at HIH is being delivered by Kadans in collaboration with The Living Laboratory, a partnership made up of the University of Glasgow, Scottish Enterprise and Glasgow City Council. The facility secured £27.5 million City Deal funding, an additional £38m from UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) Strength in Places fund and over £22 million from industry partners.

Shoosmiths has been appointed to act on the lettings at HIH for Kadans, a leading science park real estate developer with a strong UK and European footprint.

Barry McKeown, head of Shoosmiths Glasgow office and a real estate partner, said: “Kadans Science Partner has an enviable reputation within the UK and European real estate sector for planning and delivering impressive commercial builds that attract top-tier life science innovators and operators.

“The Health Innovation Hub is a fantastic facility and I’m very proud that Shoosmiths real estate team in Scotland was invited by Kadans to apply our legal and commercial expertise for such a prestigious project.”
