Functional Soda Brand Inks Lease at Watertown’s 64 Pleasant

Culture Pop Soda, a functional soda brand, will lease more than 6,000 square feet in Berkeley Investments’ 64 Pleasant St. development in Watertown, MA. Culture Pop joins current tenant Via Separations, a growing clean tech startup, which leased more than 50,000 square feet of Class A lab space last year.

Dan McGrath, Berkeley’s SVP and director of asset management, said “Culture Pop Soda perfectly complements the lab, life sciences and clean tech companies that a building like 64 Pleasant is appealing to. Culture Pop prides itself on clean living, with a really clean ingredient list, and we think their business model is ideally suited for 64 Pleasant.”

Culture Pop Soda was represented by Nat Kessler and Sam Crossan of JLL. Newmark’s Dan Krysiak, Dave Townsend, Juliette Reiter and Catie Tilton represented Berkeley.

Situated along the Charles River in Watertown, 64 Pleasant was recently chosen by Gov. Maura Healey to promote her climate tech Initiative investment of $1.3 billion, from the headquarters of Via Separations.
