Longfellow Real Estate Partners, the nation’s largest private developer of life sciences buildings, will lead the construction of three new buildings covering 455,000 square feet at 3401 Gray’s Ferry Ave. The 23-acre Pennovation Works is adjacent to Penn’s campus on a former DuPont industrial site, where the Pennovation Center opened as an entrepreneurial and research hub in 2016.
