What: BioMed Realty East Coast headquarters
Where: 314 Main St., Cambridge
Owner: Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Built: 2021-2022 

BioMed Realty’s new East Coast headquarters will occupy a single-story, 25,000-square-foot buildout in the Site 5 Building of MIT’s campus gateway at Kendall Square, serving the existing team of 50 employees with room for expansion. 

Designed by Hacin + Associates (H+A), the open-plan space will provide 60-degree views of the Charles River, Cambridge and Boston with visitors and staff while accommodating life science developer BioMed’s needs for private and shared workspaces. 

Individual private offices line some of the perimeter floor-to-ceiling windows, while many are pulled back, allowing for shared workstations and community workspace. A prominent meeting room visible upon entry to the floor is equipped with a 32-foot telescoping door and frames a sweeping view of the Back Bay skyline. 

They Said It: 

“The working collaboration between H+A and BioMed Realty is a well-aligned partnership. From new building lobbies to award-winning restaurants and chef-driven cafes, we have been able to create some truly special projects together that greatly enhance the lives of BioMed’s impressive roster of tenants, as well as the community at large.”
