The Warren Innovation Center is a three-building office, lab and flex campus comprised of 30, 40 and 45 Technology Drive South in Warren.
The campus is located a short distance from Warren’s downtown center, an amenity-rich area with access to fine dining, fast-casual eateries and regional shopping centers. It’s also easily accessible regionally via Route 78 and I-287.
Ivy acquired the campus at the end of 2018 and has since undertaken an extensive capital improvement campaign.
At 30 Technology Drive, they’ve executed a $1.35 million renovation project, which includes upgrades to the common areas and building façade, as well as improvements to building systems, the installation of a new roof, and the resurfacing and restriping of the parking lot.
Renovations at 40 Technology Drive are slated to begin soon and will include common area upgrades, a new state-of-the-art HVAC system, a new roof and the resurfacing and restriping of the parking lot.
Since taking over the Center, there has been strong leasing momentum with Graver Water Systems taking 16,985 s/f; Market Modelers a 2,850 s/f lease and Aquestive Therapeutics with a 23,589 s/f lease extension.
There are currently units of 1,690 and 4,000 s/f of space available at 30 Technology Drive and opportunities from 2,000 to 30,000 s/f available at 40 Technology Drive.
