Dimension Inx signs lease at Fulton Labs

Trammell Crow Company has signed a lease with Dimension Inx, a biomaterials platform company that develops therapeutic products to restore tissue and organ function, at Fulton Labs in Chicago. The company will occupy a 6,410-square-foot Science-Ready Lab Suite at 1375 W. Fulton, which is part of TCC’s two-building, 725,000-square-foot Fulton Labs Campus in Chicago’s Fulton Market neighborhood.

Dimension Inx currently operates out of two locations. Its primary facility is based at Illinois Tech’s University Technology Park, and it also occupies space at the venture development engine Portal Innovations, located at 400 N. Aberdeen, which is part of the Fulton Labs Campus. Dimension Inx will move into its new headquarters office and lab space in March 2023 and will still maintain a presence at Portal Innovations, given their ongoing strategic partnership.

“We’ve been bullish on our potential for growth in Chicago since we spun out of Northwestern University. Access to talent and world-class research institutions has been a mainstay in the region. With the addition of new, flexible lab space options and the growing fervor within the life sciences ecosystem, we remain incredibly excited about the opportunities here. We look forward to continuing our growth in tandem with the vibrant Chicago life sciences community”, said Dimension Inx CEO, Caralynn Nowinski Collens, M.D.

Trammell Crow unveiled its Science-Ready Lab Suites at 1375 W. Fulton in 2022. The fully built out, move-in ready private labs span 3,000 to 7,000 square feet and provide advanced R&D laboratory space with world-class infrastructure that is optimized for various science use, including therapeutics, medical devices, diagnostics, food science and materials research. Tenants have access to unparalleled building technology and amenities, including a shared lab equipment room, as well as flexible lease terms.

“Dimension Inx expanding from Portal Innovations into its own facility, while remaining within our Fulton Labs Campus, is the perfect example of how our Science-Ready Lab Suites are a key component in the growth of Chicago’s life sciences ecosystem,” shared Morgan Baer Blaska of TCC’s Chicago office. “The Chicago life sciences cluster is growing significantly, as is the need for high-quality lab space. These suites were designed to fit the needs of growing companies, providing flexibility and minimal capital expenditures for both growth-stage startups and mature organizations looking to establish a presence in downtown Chicago. We look forward to welcoming Dimension to their new space and supporting their continued growth.”

The Fulton Labs Campus is comprised of 1375 W. Fulton, which includes 300,000 square feet and features the Science-Ready Lab Suites program, and 400 N. Aberdeen, which spans 425,000 square feet and opened in Q1 2022. Other tenants include Celadyne Technologies, Portal Innovations, Charles River Laboratories, Xeris Pharmaceuticals, Vanqua Bio and Talis Biomedical.
