WILMINGTON, DEL. — Biopharmaceutical giant Merck (NYSE: MRK) has broken ground on a $1 billion pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Wilmington, about 30 miles southwest of Philadelphia. Known as Merck Wilmington Biotech, the 470,000-square-foot project will comprise laboratory, manufacturing and warehouse capabilities. Merck says the center will enable the launch and commercial production of next-generation biologics and therapies. Notably, the facility will be the Rahway, N.J.-based company’s first domestic site for producing cancer treatment drug Keytruda. Reuters reports that the Delaware plant is in effort to expand domestic production as Merck prepares to deal with President Trump’s tariffs. In its first-quarter financial results, Merck estimated that the impact of tariffs imposed so far would lead to additional costs of approximately $200 million for the company in general. Located within the 164-acre, 14-building Chestnut Run Innovation & Science Park (CRISP), the new facility will help foster growth in Wilmington’s biotechnology sector, creating more than 500 full-time roles and roughly 4,000 construction jobs.

— By Brian Anderson of CBRE — Utah’s retail market is shaped by its young population and large households, driving demand for big box stores and quality consumer brands. Utah has the youngest median age of any state in the U.S. by nearly four years, and the largest median household size. Our retail real estate market mirrors these realities. Large-box grocers and membership warehouses dot the landscape, creating gravity points that draw junior boxes, shops and restaurant users to these neighborhoods. Utah’s household incomes continue to rise, while the per capita income remains average. This has led to a concentration of quality — though not luxury — consumer brands in most retail centers. Despite challenges in construction and finance markets, Utah’s ongoing housing expansion is pushing box users and grocers to open new locations. The Salt Lake and Provo MSAs are expected to see several new big box and large grocery stores, mostly in outlying communities, after a quiet 2023 and 2024. Smaller-format grocers focused on organic food are also in permitting stages in established communities. These new locations will spark competition for restaurant and shop users. Health-conscious brands are expected to take space in desirable centers as 2025 progresses. …
