Former parachute factory transformed into 7-story life sciences space

Hatch Life Sciences at 43-10 23rd Street

Following gut demolition of this building, the first floor was converted into a luxury amenity and office space, floors 2-6 offer similar layouts, and floor seven offers a double-height space with unique views and a full length large outdoor patio deck. Amenities include a cafe, library, social space, co-working space, conference rooms, kitchenettes, top of the line lighting fixtures, open office spaces, and sound proofing.

State-of-the-art lab space

Hatch Life Sciences at 43-10 23rd Street

The laboratory spaces are modular and functional with partitions and movable lab benches. The infrastructural system improvements to support the laboratory include acid waste, reverse osmosis, a chiller bank, two additional exhausts, exterior duct manifolds, new interior shafts, pH neutralization, chemical storage, new dedicated air units, and specialized lab plumbing. Suffolk utilized its proprietary VDC/BIM process, Plan + Control, to help our team leverage their knowledge to coordinate a full window replacement, column layouts, specialized infrastructure, and working with reduced timelines—all in a building that is nearly a century old.
