Over the past 15 years, the projects from Michael O’Brien’s Galaxy Development have created more than 2,500 jobs in Central Mass., as he has churned out properties like the Trolley Yard retail plaza in Worcester.
In August, his company expanded into the life sciences industry, with the planned $50-million development of an on-spec biomanufacturing facility for The Reactory in Worcester, which is envisioned as a life sciences campus with multiple companies on the site of the former Worcester State Hospital.
Galaxy’s facility is flanked by AbbVie’s existing drugmaking site and the Chinese firm WuXi Biologics, which is building a $60-million biomanufacturing facility. Galaxy has already snatched up the rights for the remaining properties at The Reactory. As the life sciences sector grows in Central Mass, O’Brien is positioning Galaxy as a leading developer for the industry.
What do you think the future holds for Central Mass.? “Growth and opportunity in all sectors; health, education, life science, manufacturing, residential, and more retail.”
The schoolteacher: “My mom owned the first Montessori school in Connecticut called the Little People’s House. My summer job from the ages 13-15 was a Montessori school teacher. I loved teaching the children.”
