Bayer plans to expand the its U.S. production footprint with a new, $2.2 billion pharmaceutical manufacturing campus in New Albany, Ohio. Groundbreaking is slated for mid-2027, according to The Columbus Dispatch<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n

The complex will come online in two phases. The first phase, dedicated to drug substance manufacturing, is scheduled to become operational in 2031, followed by a drug product manufacturing module in 2034. The project is expected to create roughly 600 permanent jobs, along with approximately 1,500 construction positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The campus will occupy roughly 200 acres within New Albany International Business Park, a more than 12,000-acre development that included about 43 million square feet of commercial space as of last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The site is south of Route 161, near Beach Road along Ganton Parkway, the same source shows. Other life sciences companies nearby include American Regent, Amgen and Pharmavite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bayer’s U.S. expansion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The New Albany facility will add to the more than $7 billion Bayer has spent on pharmaceutical R&D and manufacturing in the U.S. during the past five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The firm’s 46-acre Berkeley, Calif., biotech campus employs about 1,000 people and serves as the largest facility in its global biotech network. Last year, Bayer also completed a $44 million, 70,000-square-foot expansion of its Myerstown, Pa., facility, the largest manufacturing site in the company\u2019s global Consumer Health network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US pharma manufacturing gains momentum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The New Albany investment comes as pharmaceutical manufacturers increasingly prioritize U.S.-based production. Onshoring efforts, supply-chain concerns, tariffs, national security considerations and growing production needs for blockbuster drugs are among the factors supporting demand for manufacturing space, even as traditional life science<\/a> real estate works through elevated vacancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ohio has been capturing part of that manufacturing expansion. Earlier this year, pharmaceutical manufacturer Resilience announced plans to move its headquarters<\/a> to Blue Ash, Ohio, near its 608,323-square-foot West Chester manufacturing campus, which the company acquired for $212 million in 2023. Resilience is also investing $100 million in a 450,000-square-foot Blue Ash facility supporting sterile injectable operations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
