Lendlease Adds Retail Tenant, Art Program at FORUM in Boston

Lendlease has signed a first-floor retail lease with Tradesman Coffee Shop and Lounge at FORUM, its nine-story, 350,000-square-foot life sciences development at 60 Guest St. in Boston’s Allston-Brighton neighborhood. Tradesman is slated to open in early 2025. Additionally, Lendlease has entered into a partnership with TurningArt and J. Perry Fine Art to curate pieces for a community-oriented artwork experience.

“FORUM was intentionally designed to incorporate public spaces that further enliven the neighborhood, and we’re excited to welcome Tradesman, along with the dynamic art installations from TurningArt and J. Perry Fine Art, to our building,” said Mark Barer, director of development, Boston, Lendlease.

He continued “These additions will significantly contribute to Boston Landing’s already vibrant scene, benefiting not only those who work at FORUM, but also local residents and visitors. This is an exciting step in furthering the area’s appeal and fostering a space where people can gather, connect and be inspired.”
