Part of Boulevard Building Inc. (Smerd Group)

About

Pittsburgh Labs is the life-sciences leasing brand of Boulevard Building Inc. (a Smerd Group company), offering ready-to-go and custom-built wet lab and office space in two converted turn-of-the-century warehouses — the Forbes Pride Building (a former Reymer Brothers candy factory) and the historic Forbes Stevenson Building — in Pittsburgh's Uptown innovation corridor. Unlike a shared incubator, this is a direct-lease landlord model with private, buildable suites from roughly 1,350 to 13,200 sq ft, heavy steel-and-concrete floors for equipment loads, freight elevator, abundant power and rooftop backup generation. It sits directly across from UPMC Mercy's $750M Vision and Rehabilitation Pavilion and Duquesne University's new School of Osteopathic Medicine, and has already housed two acquired biotechs: Abound Bio (Galapagos) and Special Pathogens Laboratory (Pace Labs).
