GUILFORD, Conn.– Quantum-Si Incorporated (Nasdaq: QSI) (“Quantum-Si,” “QSI” or the “Company”), a life sciences tools company commercializing a unique protein sequencing platform, today announced that it has entered into a lease agreement with Winchester Office LLC to develop a new headquarters at Winchester Works, a technology and life sciences building across the street from Yale’s Science Hill.
The new headquarters will consist of a state-of-the-art, mixed-use space that is approximately 65,000 square-feet and will house office and core research and development space. Winchester Office LLC comprises LMXD – an affiliated company of L+M Development Partners – Twining Properties and the Goldman Sachs Urban Investment Group.
Quantum-Si will begin relocating to the new headquarters in the first half of 2022. In June 2021, Quantum-Si also had announced the lease of a new product development and operations facility in San Diego which opened in the third quarter of 2021.
“Our combined campuses in Connecticut and California will be the cornerstone of growth for both research and development and commercial operations,” said John Stark, Chief Executive Officer of Quantum-Si. “Having a presence in these vibrant life sciences hubs will enable Quantum-Si to recruit high-caliber talent as we continue to scale up operations ahead of our planned platform commercial launch in 2022.”
“The life sciences sector is going to play a critical role in our nation’s post-pandemic recovery, and we believe that New Haven – particularly the Winchester Works campus – will help with that resurgence,” said Jake Pine, Senior Director at LMXD. “Quantum-Si will make a significant impact to an already bustling life science campus bringing cutting-edge technology and critical jobs to Winchester Works.”
