In 2015, Concept Companies expanded its development and construction services into the biotech arena with Foundation Park, helping to implement the University of Florida’s vision for a regionally integral life sciences business park for companies ready to graduate from the Sid Martin Biotechnology Incubator and occupy custom lab and office space.
To further cater to companies built on the technical prowess of the University of Florida, Concept Companies recently unveiled a state-of-the-art, Class-A, office, retail, and laboratory space called 800 Second at Innovation Square.

Located in the heart of Gainesville’s Innovation Square, 800 Second aligns with the goals of the City of Gainesville and the University of Florida to create a livable, walkable, adaptable, and sustainable urban research district that gives Gainesville a competitive edge in attracting and retaining the best minds and companies in research.
With even more biotech projects on the horizon, including a new location for Lacerta Therapeutics in Alachua’s Copeland Park, Concept Companies is proud to invest in Gainesville and surrounding areas as it continues to grow as a leader in innovation.
