BOSTON & NEWTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Bulfinch Companies, Inc. (Bulfinch), a commercial real estate and investment firm, and Labshares Newton today announced the expansion of the life science and biotech co-working incubator at Chapel Bridge..

Longtime biotech executive Jeff Behrens ventured out of the C-Suite earlier this year, opening the first life sciences-focused incubator in Newton. Now he's expanding the project amid broader demand for shared lab space.

The next groundbreaking medical discovery could be made right here in the city, as companies conduct research and experiments at Labshares Newton, an “incubator lab” on Bridge Street that is in the process of expanding.
