Trammell Crow Company (TCC), a global real estate developer, has signed a new lease at Science Square Labs in Atlanta, Georgia. The lease was signed with the Georgia State Properties Commission (SPC) which is the state’s real property portfolio manager and signs all leases on behalf of state agencies. SPC assigned the space to the Georgia Department of Agriculture (GDA). The organization will occupy 11,129 square feet of pre-built lab/office space on the 11^th floor. The 13-story, 368,258-square-foot state-of-the-art lab building was delivered in April 2024.
 
“Having delivered 33,136 square feet of move-in-ready lab/office suites shortly after the building was completed was a major factor in helping us land GDA at Science Square Labs,” said Katherine Lynch, a Principal with TCC Atlanta. “This purpose-built project has the mission-critical infrastructure laboratory environments require, and we’re excited to bring quality lab space with modern office amenities to Atlanta.”
 
GDA is the voice of the state's agriculture community. The department's mission is to provide excellence in services and regulatory functions, to protect and promote agriculture and consumer interests, and to ensure an abundance of safe food and fiber for Georgia, America, and the world by using state-of-the-art technology and a professional workforce. GDA joins national life sciences incubator, Portal Innovations, at Science Square Labs, which leased 33,000 sq. ft. last summer.
 
Science Square Labs is the first speculative lab/office building developed in Atlanta. The building is part of Georgia Tech’s Science Square innovation district and is designed to meet the needs of established R&D companies as well as start-ups and growth-stage groups in the science, technology, and life sciences sectors. The GDA space includes two of six pre-built lab spaces on the 11th floor. Science Square Labs is also LEED and WELL Gold, featuring sustainable initiatives to include a 38,000-sq.-ft. solar array, capacity for 180 EV chargers, and a Konvekta high-performance energy recovery system, which reduces CO2 emissions and tenant energy costs.

Science Square is an 18-acre, multi-phase, mixed-use innovation district offering up to 1.3 million sq. ft. of future lab and office space. In addition to Science Square Labs, phase one of the development also include ground-floor retail and The Grace Residences, a 280-unit, 14-story multifamily high-rise that started welcoming its first residents in April. The community offers a curated collection of wellness-inspired amenities, including a bike room; a club room; an outdoor courtyard with fire pits, grilling areas, and a resort-style pool; a state-of-the-art fitness center; a package room; a co-working space; a pet spa; and a 14th floor indoor/outdoor sky lounge with views of Midtown and Downtown Atlanta.
