The article has several nuggets:
1) The Curtis was designed (in part) to hold printing presses, which means strnager floors, higher ceilings, and the possibility of roof vents. So it is being actively marketed to life sciences companies.
2) Several founding principles in Imvax are closely associated with Jefferson where much of the prinicple reasearch has been done. So proximity to Jefferson is likely the factor that outweighs the taxbreaks?
3) Imvax is expanding rapidly, pulling in people from out of town as well as locally. Has over $100M in venture capital.
4) The CEO used to be an executive at Spark.
