European and US real estate asset manager and investor, Global Mutual, founded in 2008, today confirms that it has secured ownership of an established 28-acre life science ready campus in Ware.
‘Riverlabs’ sits at the heart of the Golden Triangle and as such is positioned within the central cluster of the UK’s life science industry.

Having been a key strategic site for GSK’s R&D in the UK for over 50 years, the campus provides highly specified laboratory space as well as exceptional amenity. In addition to direct river access Riverlabs benefits from on-site sports facilities including tennis courts and 5-a-side football pitches.
The beautiful town of Ware, which offers access to a highly skilled workforce, excellent transport links (train station 15 min walk) and outstanding local amenity, including independent cafes, shops, restaurants, schools, hotels and green spaces is also just a short riverside walk from Riverlabs.
