Publicly-traded developer, owner and manager Boston Properties has secured a 138,000-square-foot, 10-year lease with Translate Bio, a clinical-stage messenger RNA (mRNA) therapeutics company, at 200 West Street in Waltham.
Boston Properties is currently redeveloping 200 West Street into a lab space with completion slated for 2021.
