"Shady Grove Adventist Hospital was built among rolling fields 30 years ago, became anchor of the Shady Grove Life Sciences Center, and is now the country’s third-largest biotech cluster, with over 200 private firms and 45k workers in the public and private sectors. Under the plan,
the hospital complex will more than double its 1M SF with the addition of medical and research office space."

"Johns Hopkins Real Estate’s David McDonough, here with Montgomery County council member Mike Knapp, said he was surprised that North America and Europe don’t have the dramatic life sciences complexes Great Seneca seeks to be. The only place in the world he and colleagues found world-class models was Asia: Singapore, South Korea, China, and India have life sciences clusters that are true cities unto themselves—10M to 100M SF—and have risen in just a few years, complete with extensive mass transit and mixed-use development."

If it is the latter, yes.

If it is the former, no.

There is only one Silicon Valley. There have been attempts to try to replicate SV in other spots on the planet, but no one has come close to dethroning what it is today.
