Oxford Properties Secures 113K-SF of Life Science Leases in Boston

Global investor, asset manager and developer Oxford Properties Group has secured a total of 113,000 square feet of new life science leases at 645 Summer Street, a lab and innovation building at Pappas Way in Boston. The property is now fully leased.

Lease transactions include a renewal and expansion for a 75,000-square-foot, 10-year lease with Akouos, a genetic medicine company as well as a 21,000-square-foot, five-year lease with Ikena Oncology, a biotech company. Additionally, Oxford secured a 17,000-square-foot, five-year lease with Monte Rosa Therapeutics, a biotech company developing cancer therapeutics that modulate protein degradation pathways.

Carolyn Wheatley, Meredith Christensen and Jeff Landers of CBRE represented Oxford Properties Group in the lease transactions. Connor Barnes, Deanne Munger and Sharon Joyce of Cushman & Wakefield represented Akouos.

“Akouos has been a part of the dynamic life sciences ecosystem in Boston since our founding in 2016. In collaboration with Oxford at 645 Summer Street, we continue to expand our research and manufacturing infrastructure to support the development of genetic medicines with the potential to address a broad range of inner ear conditions,” said Manny Simons, founder, president and CEO at Akouos.
