Broad Institute Partners with Boston Properties on Kendall Square Expansion

The Eli and Edythe L. Broad Institute, a nonprofit research organization affiliated with MIT and Harvard University, is expanding its presence in Cambridge with the long-term lease of a 225,000-sf facility. Developer Boston Properties is transforming an existing six-story building at 300 Binney Street into a state-of-the-art biomedical hub where interdisciplinary teams will engage in collaborative research and discovery. HGA is providing architectural programming and design services for the project, which will increase the institute's presence in Kendall Square to nearly one million sf of lab and office space upon completion. Targeting LEED Gold certification, the sustainably designed structure will leverage next-generation mechanical and electrical infrastructure to achieve superior energy performance. Occupancy is expected in early 2025.
