SGA has designed a prototype complex called the Vertical Cluster. The Vertical Cluster is a proposed 24-story, 750,000-square-foot tower with wet/dry labs integrated into a glass office tower that will serve as the model for future life-sciences development in New York.

The vertical nature of the tower reflects local zoning and building codes, allowing SGA to stack the diverse programmatic needs typically found in a horizontal life sciences complex.
The result is a contemporary facility that quite literally elevates the work of industry professionals and engenders a sense of community though deeply integrated vertical collaboration spaces.
