About

GENESIS – San Diego is a 200,000+ RSF, eight-story Class A LEED Gold life science building at 1155 Island Avenue — the first purpose-built lab building in downtown San Diego, developed by Phase 3 Real Estate Partners with Bain Capital Real Estate and Barings. It offers move-in-ready pre-designed lab/office spec suites on ~25,000 SF floor plates, delivered with modular benching, service units for multiple lab gases and electrical circuits, and 4–8 ft fume hoods, so teams can occupy quickly rather than build out. Note this is a direct-lease landlord product (suite- and floor-scale, brokered through JLL and Newmark), not a bench-by-bench incubator — best suited to funded companies needing 15,000 SF or more, though its downtown location, Blue Line trolley access at the door, and 8th-floor penthouse conference center make it a differentiated alternative to Torrey Pines and Sorrento Valley.
