(NYSE:ARE), with a total market capitalization of approximately $9 billion as of March 31, 2014, and an asset base of 31.2 million RSF, including 17.7 million RSF of operating and current value-creation projects, as well as an additional 13.5 million RSF in future ground-up development projects, is the largest and leading REIT uniquely focused on Class A collaborative science and technology campuses in urban innovation clusters. Alexandria pioneered this niche in 1994 and has since established a dominant market presence in AAA locations including Greater Boston, the San Francisco Bay Area, New York City, Seattle, San Diego, Maryland, and Research Triangle Park. Alexandria is known for its high-quality and diverse client tenant base. As the Landlord of Choice to the Life Science Industry®, approximately 52% of Alexandria’s total ABR results from investment-grade client tenants (an industry-leading percentage). Alexandria has a longstanding and proven track record of developing Class A assets clustered in urban collaborative science and technology campuses that provide its client tenants with a highly collaborative, 24/7, live/work/play environment, as well as the critical ability to successfully recruit and retain best-in-class talent. We believe these advantages result in higher occupancy levels, longer lease terms, higher rental income, higher returns, and greater long-term asset value.
