STAT+: Ginkgo further scales back Boston real estate
The once high-flying Ginkgo Bioworks is further scaling back its Boston real estate.

This story originally appeared in STAT’s sister publication, The Boston Globe.
There’s plenty of empty lab space around Greater Boston these days and a lot of competition for life-science tenants. Now Ginkgo Bioworks is throwing some space in the Seaport it doesn’t need at the moment into the fray.
“Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you are growing biotech looking for space in Cambridge or Boston. I am the friendliest biotech landlord here,” chief executive Jason Kelly told Wall Street analysts on Tuesday. “We’ve been making headway on subleases, but we still have a lot of lab space available that we’d love to get you into.”
