Alan D. Gold, BioMed's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, remarked, "We are extremely pleased with this latest expansion of our relationship with Regeneron. BioMed was one of the first institutional real estate organizations to recognize the potential of the life science industry in New York and Westchester County when we purchased the Landmark campus in 2004, with Regeneron as the anchor tenant. Since then, Regeneron has continued to be at the forefront of biopharmaceutical research and development, as illustrated by Regeneron's recent expansion of its existing global collaboration with sanofi-aventis to discover, develop and commercialize fully human therapeutic monoclonal antibodies. We are delighted to continue playing a significant role in their ongoing scientific advancements and drug discoveries."Commenting on its expanded presence at Landmark, Leonard S. Schleifer, M.D., Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Regeneron, said, "BioMed has been an ideal real estate partner during this time of growth at Regeneron.
