MIAMI-The University of Miami Life Science & Technology Park (UMLSTP) has inked a series of leases totaling 10,000 square feet. Scheduled to open in less than three months, the building is nearly 45% pre-leased.

The new tenants include the Community Blood Centers of South Florida and medical device firm Emunamedica, LLC. The tenants will take up residence in park’s first phase building, a 252,000-square-foot facility housing wet and dry labs, offices and retail space. UMLSTP has already inked deals with Daya Medicals, the University of Miami Tissue Bank, national intellectual property law firm Novak Druce + Quigg, and the Enterprise Development Corporation of South Florida.

“We are beginning to see the net positive impacts of the project on South Florida's economy,” William Hunter, project leasing manager for UMLSTP developer Wexford, tells GlobeSt.com. “These leases represent dozens of new jobs in today’s market and that’s a good sign. This is exactly what the project was built to do.”
