« Building a better mouse scanner | Main | Ye olde biotech promo » Wednesday, May 9, 2007Buy 10, get one freeWith real estate prices being what they are, it might be surprising that anyone would pass on the chance at a free acre of land in Massachusetts. But when the Massachusetts Biotechnology Council held a drawing today for a handful of real-estate prizes, including free rent and lease credits at various office parks around the state, it was the lease deals that attracted the most excitement from biotech companies. “People weren’t as interested in the acre,” said Peter Abair of the MBC, who cooked up the biotech real-estate sweepstakes. Perhaps it’s because the acre comes with a few strings: For one thing, it’s at SouthField, in Weymouth, the Property Formerly Known as the South Weymouth Naval Air Station (and not exactly known as a biotech hotspot). And there’s another catch: You can only get the “free” acre if you buy 10 more. Posted by Boston Globe Business Team at 02:01 PM
