Completion is nearing for a multi-tenant facility for life science companies just east of the L.A. County + USC Medical Center, according to Urban Land Magazine.

Located at 5370 Alhambra Avenue in El Sereno, the project is a joint venture between Agora Partners and ASG Real Estate.  It is considered the first privately funded development of its type in Los Angeles.

HATCH represents a core endeavor of the LA Bioscience Hub, a nonprofit organization which if focused on creating a bioscience corridor in East Los Angeles, anchored by the USC Health Science Campus, a new incubator at Cal State Los Angeles and the LAC + USC Medical Center.
