Inside Philly\u2019s Leading Innovation District: Growth Drivers, Capital Movement and Development Momentum<\/strong><\/p>\n

University City is still one of the most resilient life sciences hubs in the country. Vacancy sits around 5 percent while Boston, San Diego and other major markets wrestle with double-digit levels and delayed development.

Infrastructure commitments are ramping up as well, from SEPTA upgrades to improved pedestrian connections between campuses, labs and residential pockets. This event breaks down which projects are moving, which are paused, how capital is flowing and what the data tells us about leasing demand in 2026.
