University Research Park

A hub for emerging and rising science and technology businesses is being developed through a partnership between the city and county of Riverside and UCR. The 39-acre University Research Park is already home to several technology companies, including Qmotions, Ambryx Biotechnology, and Centrum Analytical Laboratories.

Private sector parties have purchased, constructed and leased buildings in the 11-lot park, with space still available in several existing buildings, including a 13,500-square-foot building near the research park entrance. A new, 42,000-square-foot building is expected to be completed in the next 12 months.

The University Research Park is conveniently located near the I-215/Highways 91 and 60 interchange, and approximately two miles from the University of California, Riverside campus. The research park is situated on a bench at the base of Box Springs Mountains, with several lots having expansive views of the San Bernardino and San Gabriel Mountains.

Assistance to small, emerging and technology-based businesses is provided through the Inland Empire Small Business Development Center and Inland Empire Economic Partnership, both located in the research park, as well as the nearby TriTech Small Business Development Center which focuses on high-tech/high-growth business sectors – particularly bioscience, hardware/software, and communications.

Future plans call for an incubator facility containing chemical, biological and electronics laboratories, as well as office space for emerging technology-based companies. An adjacent 17 acres will enable future expansion of the research park.
