GVA Kidder Mathews is a international corporate real estate advisory and brokerage firm. I have specialized in tenant representation in the San Francisco Bay Area for over 19 years.

GVA Kidder Mathews is the only real estate company with a dedicated life science team. Our group consists of ten (10) life science brokers based in key Bay Area sub-markets. We have developed the most comprehensive life science database in the commercial real estate industry. GVAKM’s specialized database will provide clients with the following key strategic advantage:

1. Tracks current available wet laboratory spaces including competing product.
2. Tracks wet laboratory spaces that will be coming on-line over a twenty-four (24) month period.
3. Tracks lease expiration dates of current life science tenants.
4. Tracks current life science requirements in the market.
5. Tracks companies that are getting funded.
6. Tracks companies that are in the midst of re-structuring and M&A discussions.

Experience Professionals:

1. Extensive experience in strategic real estate planning.
2. Strong advocacy and negotiating results.
3. Over 95 years of combined life science real estate experience.

Outstanding Results:

1. Completed 25 life science projects totaling 1,140,000 sf in the last 18 months in the Bay Area worth over $350 million.
2. Currently represent 3.5 million square feet of life science projects.
