Why 644 2nd Street works for r&d shop & prototyping lab

Hardware R&D doesn't fit in a coworking space and doesn't need a Class A office tower. It needs power, room to make noise, drive-in access for full-size prototypes, and a location where you can scale into manufacturing under the same roof. 644 2nd Street is built for that growth path.

Frequently asked questions

Can I build a clean room or wet lab inside the bay?
Yes — a controlled clean room (ISO 7 / ISO 8) is feasible as a tenant improvement inside a 7,500+ SF bay. Wet labs with appropriate ventilation are also supported.
How much power can I draw for test rigs?
Heavy 3-phase power is available. Specific amperage is configurable during buildout — most R&D tenants land in the 200–400 amp 3-phase range, with more available.
If we go to production, can we expand into adjacent bays?
Yes — the building is subdividable and we work with growing tenants on right-of-first-refusal terms for adjacent space. R&D to pilot manufacturing to full production all under one roof.
