DAVIS COMPANIES CELEBRATES “TOPPING OFF” MILESTONE AT ALEWIFE RESEARCH CENTER – 35 Cambridgepark Drive

Newly-constructed 223,000 square-foot Class A lab building will open by fall 2018 to serve Cambridge’s growing life science market

CAMBRIDGE, MA – December 13, 2017 – The Davis Companies and John Moriarty & Associates today celebrated the ceremonial “topping-off” of the Alewife Research Center (The ARC), a new state-of-the-art lab building located at 35 Cambridgepark Drive. This major milestone marks the completion of the structural phase of construction and positions the project to be delivered on schedule and available for occupancy by life science tenants in fall 2018.

The ARC is a 223,000 square-foot transit-oriented Class A lab building, strategically located directly adjacent to the Alewife MBTA Station, minutes from both Kendall Square and Harvard Square via the MBTA Red Line, and readily accessible from the Metro West suburbs via Route 2, the Minuteman Bikeway and four other bike paths. This premier location provides significant value for life science and pharmaceutical companies requiring flexible laboratory space and broad access to both urban and suburban talent pools.

The event included remarks from Brian Fallon, President of TDC Development Group, a subsidiary of The Davis Companies, and was followed by the traditional lifting of the final steel beam into place.
“We are pleased to have celebrated this milestone today,” Fallon said. “The ARC is one of the very few blocks of large high quality lab space available on the market and the largest block of Class A lab space coming to the market in 2018. We look forward to contributing to the growth of Cambridge’s impressive and burgeoning reputation as a premier center for research and discovery.”
