Low-Carbon Cement Sidewalks Debuts at WS Development’s One Boston Wharf

Local, state and federal officials convened with executives representing union labor and the construction industry at WS Development’s One Boston Wharf in Boston’s Seaport, to unveil the first sidewalk made with Sublime Systems’ low-carbon Sublime Cement, following an earlier integration in the building’s interior concrete lobby. 

In a transaction announced in 2021, Amazon has leased the entirety of the office space within One Boston Wharf, creating a total footprint of more than one million square feet within WS Development’s 33-acre Boston Seaport development. One Boston Wharf reportedly is reducing greenhouse gas emissions by more than 90% below code requirements and eliminating 5.1 million pounds of CO2 emissions annually. 

“We all want to be in this beautiful building, and we all want to be in a future that is just and that is clean and that is sustainable,” said Sublime Systems CEO and co-founder Dr. Leah Ellis. “This commercial project here in Seaport has been essential in driving the volume and demand that will bring us to market.”
