Carter Winstanley’s $100 million biotech research building that will feature a public plaza, a biotech training program for students and a workforce pipeline got final approval from the Board of Alders. It will be the second major lab building on reclaimed land that was the Route 34 connector, where the goal is to keep research companies here and attract more to create a critical mass in this growing sector. Construction is expected to start this summer and will be carried out at the same time the Downtown Crossing infrastructure project advances. The project is expected to create between 700 and 1,000 permanent jobs at all skill levels supporting some 3,000 jobs in the regional economy and generating more than $250 million in wages, according to one study. There are commitments to hire minorities and women, a city rule that applies to all property the city sells.
