Providing Results for Life Science Companies Across Orange County
Anchored by prominent MedTech innovations, the life science industry is rapidly growing in Orange County. The region’s life science boom dates all the way back to the 1960s, when many of the country’s leading MedTech organizations chose to establish their headquarters locally. That, combined with the founding of the University of California Irvine, lead to increased investor interest in the area over the years. Today, there are thousands of life science and MedTech focused companies in Orange County that employ tens of thousands of residents. HM Science, a specialized life science division of Hughes Marino, is proud to provide life science companies with best in class, bespoke corporate real estate services, specializing in the unique needs of each life science sector across Orange County, including Lake Forest, Irvine Spectrum, University Research Park and beyond.
