The effort to develop a COVID-19 vaccine is continuing to create new demand for life sciences space in Montgomery County, with one of the leading vaccine developers taking over a former industrial building and land previously planned for mixed-use development. 

Novavax, a biotech company that has received $2B in funding for its COVID-19 work, announced Monday it signed a 122K SF lease at 700 Quince Orchard Road in Gaithersburg.
