Crescent Communities Completes Construction of Phase 1 at THE YIELD Holly Springs
Charlotte, N.C. – (January 5, 2023) – Crescent Communities, a nationally recognized, market-leading real estate investor, developer, and operator of mixed-use communities, today announces the completion of construction of Phase 1 at THE YIELD Holly Springs, a 150-acre, two million SF life science campus located in the Town of Holly Springs, NC. Construction of Phase 1 began in late 2021, and its completion will mark a significant milestone for Crescent’s first investment under their life science platform, THE YIELD.
“We’re proud to announce the completion of our first phase at THE YIELD Holly Springs,” said Elizabeth McMillan, Vice President – Development at Crescent Communities. “The sale to Apollo Global Real Estate Management and GeneSuites marks the completion of Crescent’s first life science project under our new life science platform, THE YIELD, with 210,000 SF of purpose built, biomanufacturing space. It demonstrates we can use our depth of knowledge and industry experience to deliver an exceptional product designed with flexibility to meet a wide range of needs seeking speed-to-market solutions to the real estate community.”
Phase 1 of THE YIELD Holly Springs sold last month to Apollo and GeneSuites. Phase 1, which showcased 210,000 SF of biomanufacturing space between two buildings over 25 acres, is the first phase of Crescent’s larger 150-acre, life science campus in the Town of Holly Springs. Following the acquisition, Apollo and GeneSuites have rebranded this Phase 1 as Catalyst BioCampus.
Crescent Communities, in partnership with Nuveen, recently kicked off construction on Phase 2 of THE YIELD Holly Springs with three additional biomanufacturing buildings, scheduled to first deliver by year end of 2023, on the adjacent 120-acre greater campus. This next phase, once completed, will deliver 322,000 SF of speculative biomanufacturing ready facilities within the larger multi-phase innovative life science campus, designed to accommodate up to 2M SF of biomanufacturing space, 100,000 SF of lab/office space, and nearly 35,000 SF of retail space.
Located in the Town of Holly Springs, NC, THE YIELD Holly Springs is strategically situated in the growing Research Triangle region, with access to top talent from nearby higher education institutions, including UNC Chapel-Hill, Duke University, and North Carolina State University. In addition, THE YIELD Holly Springs campus is in close proximity to other top-tier life science companies, such as Amgen, Seqirus, and FUJIFILM Diosynth. For potential employees, Holly Springs offers great quality of life with many retail and lifestyle amenities within two miles of THE YIELD Holly Springs, including Main Street Corridor and Holly Springs Towne Center.
