Frontage Laboratories, a full-spectrum Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO), now occupies an additional 46,300 square feet of life sciences space at Hankin Group’s Eagleview (240 Sierra Drive) in Exton. The organization will use the new space at Eagleview for its CMC-Product Development and Manufacturing service line.  

Frontage Labs joins Fruh Packaging to bring occupancy of the brand new 113,000 square-foot GMP life sciences building to 100 percent. The two companies bring hundreds of jobs to Chester County and represent the continued growth of the life sciences industry in the Greater Philadelphia region.  

Frontage Labs, a pharmaceutical development company headquartered in Exton, already occupies over 150,000 square feet of life science space in Eagleview, bringing the company’s total footprint in Exton to more than 200,000 square feet. It is estimated that Frontage Lab’s CMC Expansion Project will open 100 new employment opportunities in the Exton area. 

Fruh Packaging, a Swiss pharmaceutical packaging company, occupied 240 Sierra Drive in February 2024 after an extensive search, ultimately selecting Eagleview as the company’s first American headquarters.  

“Eagleview, with its robust infrastructure and unique live, work, play environment, is particularly well suited for life sciences companies,” said Sam Sherrill, Commercial Sales and Leasing Manager, Hankin Group. “Our master-planned community offers more than 575,000 square feet of research and development space, quality residential and retail opportunities, and easy access to a highly skilled workforce, making it a perfect hub for growth and collaboration in the life sciences sector.”     

“Expanding our CDMO operations at Eagleview was a strategic, and logical, next step for our business,” said Dr. Song Li, Executive Chairman of Frontage Labs. “The Hankin team knows how to develop life science properties, and their property management team ensures our operations run seamlessly. Eagleview is a place that we can continue to grow for years to come.”  

Eagleview is an award-winning, 800-acre mixed-use community located in Chester County. The master-planned community boasts over 1,000 residences, 2.5 million square feet of distinctive commercial office space, and over 50,000 square feet of prime retail space. Eagleview’s thoughtfully designed system of sidewalks, jogging paths, and greenways creates a unique experience that seamlessly integrates the residential, commercial, and retail aspects of the community.
