National Resilience is building an expanded facility in Marlborough to house a nationwide cell therapy manufacturing initiative.
Bioscience firm National Resilience, Inc. has purchased an eight-acre property in Marlborough for $11 million, as it is in the process of constructing an expanded facility on the site, according to the Middlesex South District Registry of Deeds.
The property at 92 Crowley Dr. in Marlborough, which already contains an existing 68,400-square-foot research-and-development warehouse, was sold to an entity registered to the president of National Resilience, a technology-focused biomanufacturing company headquartered in La Jolla, Calif.
Resilience began work on constructing a facility at 92 Crowley Dr. in the summer, according to company spokesperson Ryan Flinn, and expects to complete the work by spring 2023. The project would add 35,000 square feet to the existing facility in a project valued at $9 million by the database Construction Journal.
Resilience was founded in 2020 and focuses on broadening access to complex medicines, per its website, and has had a growing presence in Massachusetts since it bought French biopharmaceutical company Sanofi’s Boston location in February 2021.
Two weeks after the Crowley Drive purchase, which closed April 29, Resilience announced a collaboration with Cambridge-based Be Biopharma, Inc. to lead clinical manufacturing for cell therapy drugs at facilities in Marlborough, Waltham, Philadelphia, and Research Triangle Park, N.C.
The existing Marlborough facility was built in 2016 and is located on more than eight acres of land, according to real estate listing service LoopNet. It is situated next to the Massachusetts location of semiconductor manufacturer Allegro MicroSystems.
The seller in April’s transaction was an entity registered to Jon Priscoli, who bought it in late 2018 for $4.5 million, marking a $6.5-million increase in sale price over the last three and a half years. Priscoli is the CEO of Grafton & Upton Railroad Co. in Grafton, and solely owns
First Colony Group, a commercial property portfolio in the Greater Boston area.
The Crowley Drive property is assessed by the City of Marlborough at $4.3 million.
