Currently, sections of the site are large-scale parking lots or abandoned structures, but there is also a large remodeled and functioning area of buildings (leased primarily by a private developer) with numerous Yale employees, financial service and biotech companies.

A second biotechnology district is being planned for the median strip on Frontage Road, on land cleared for the never-built [[Connecticut Route 34|Route 34]] extension.<ref name="autogenerated5" /> As of late 2009, a [[Pfizer]] drug-testing clinic, a medical laboratory building serving Yale – New Haven Hospital, and a mixed-use structure containing parking, housing and office space, have been constructed on this corridor.<ref name="autogenerated5" /> A former [[Southern New England Telephone|SNET]] telephone building at 300 George Street is being converted into lab space, and has been quite successful so far in attracting biotechnology and medical firms.<ref name="autogenerated5" />
