WAYNE, Pa., March 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — INQ 400 at 400 Devon Park Drive in Wayne is under redevelopment and offers approximately 140,000 square feet of single-story GMP manufacturing and lab space. Zoned for all life science uses and in close proximity to Philadelphia’s life science cluster, the building is available for lease and can accommodate “speed to market” requirements. Mainstreet Capital Partners, in a joint venture with Contrarian Capital Management, acquired the property in June 2021, and work underway since, including interior demolition and exterior improvements, are designed to deliver a Class A Life Sciences property.

The property is poised to meet the needs of any life science company seeking suburban GMP manufacturing and lab space. Existing and planned building infrastructure is ideal for life science users and include:

– 20-24′ clear heights,
– Twelve DX rooftop HVAC units offering 190 tons of cooling capacity with additional rooftop load capacity,
– 34.5 KV primary electrical service with an Eaton Power Series three-phase, pad-mounted compartmental type transformer (45-10,000 KVA),
– A 1,200 Amp sub-station with expansion potential,
– A 6-inch waterline and 6-inch gravity drain,
– High-pressure natural gas service,
– A 15.2 L, 505 kW industrial diesel emergency generator,
– Existing mezzanine catwalks for equipment accessibility,
– Ample loading docks throughout, and
– Fire protection via a full-building sprinkler system.

Developer Mainstreet Capital Partners has significant experience managing life science conversion and redevelopment projects. The firm was attracted to the property’s impressive existing infrastructure, premier Tredyffrin Township, Chester County location – along the King of Prussia-Main Line corridor – with easy access to Philadelphia, and space readiness to meet “speed to market” demands. The project is represented by Scheer Partners, Inc.
