SAN DIEGO-Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc., in conjunction with Illumina, Inc., a world-leader in genetic sequencing, have completed Illumina's global headquarters in San Diego. The project comprises an approximately-497,000-rentable-square-foot life science campus with additional onsite ground-up development opportunities aggregating approximately 393,000-rentable-square-feet.

An event was held last week, and company executives expected to be joined by special guest State Senator Marty Block to mark the completion of the campus, a world-class laboratory/office facility, a fitness facility and 1,750 seat outdoor amphitheater.

“Illumina worked closely with Alexandria to design our global headquarters with collaborative open spaces throughout the campus to foster continuous innovation and teamwork,” said Illumina's president and CEO Jay Flatley. “Our culture and campus environment are key to fostering our continued growth, helping us attract and retain top talent.”
