Pfizer Campus Gets New Name, Tenants

PEARL RIVER, NY – Industrial Realty Group has given a new name to the 1.993 million sq. ft. campus of existing office, laboratory, and industrial space in Pearl River, NY it bought from Pfizer. The campus will be known as “New York Center for Innovation.”

“The campus is a unique part of the community in Pearl River and we are committed to its next chapter,” said John A. Mase, Chief Executive Officer at IRG, a nationwide real estate development andinvestment firm. “Our team is aggressively marketing the New York Center for Innovation. Continued progress in leasing will help support subsequent phases of development on site.”

The property was formerly Lederle Laboratories, then the headquarters of Wyeth Pharmaceuticals (2002-09). Pfizer Inc. acquired Wyeth and the property in 2009 and eventually sold 207 acres of the campus to IRG in 2015.

The film industry has taken interest in the property, IRG officials said. The site is now certified as a “Qualified Film Production Facility” and has been featured on a variety of television shows and films including: Blindspot (NBC), Orange is the New Black (Netflix), Gotham (Fox), The Punisher (Netflix), The Tick (Amazon) and BlacKkKlansman (a Spike Lee film).

As development continues to take shape, New York Center for Innovation will become a part of the mixed-use, multi-tenanted project, which plans to offer collaborative, coffee shop-style meeting spaces as well as dining, shopping and entertainment options, IRG officials said. As part of the project, the New York Center for Innovation includes the existing office, laboratory and industrial space.

Recently Profectus BioSciences has moved to the New York Center for Innovation taking 39,455 sq. ft. of lab and office space. The company joins site tenants including Pfizer, Sanofi (formerly Protein Sciences), Urban Electric Power and NuBiyota. Leasing activity continues to grow on site with the addition of synergistic tenants, who have lead advancements in vaccine production, cancer research and other bio science developments.
