Bisnow/Allen Matkins - San Diego State of the Market - Alan Gold, BioMed Realty
BioMed Realty chairman Alan Gold says Downtown San Diego could get some of the same buildup of tech companies that's happening in the UTC-Torrey Pines area, but the way it's currently set up, innovation and collaboration aren't there. (Nobody shares, like a poorly run group therapy session.) It needs a major research institution to become the first seed and decide that it has enough young employees living downtown to open a satellite or branch office.
