Uniqueness.
Speed.
Efficiency.

Up until now, early industry innovators are finding that solutions intended to speed up their path to commercialization render themselves to be costly and take much longer than expected. Concurrently, when combining the uncertainty and complexity of developing early cell and gene therapy programs, limited capital at their disposal, and thin credit histories, developers in the space struggle to build a sound pro-forma to support investment.

This is why we created the ARCO FlexShellTM. Utilizing the magnitude of our national network of partners, our proprietary designs developed on over 5,000+ buildings prior, and our design/build approach, we set forth to create the most flexible, cost-effective, and rapidly deployable core and shell that would change the future for companies in this space.

The results are staggering.
