Lendlease, Ivanhoé Cambridge Launch $500M Life-Science Property in Boston Landing
Lendlease and Ivanhoé Cambridge have started construction on the partnership’s $500 million life science development at 60 Guest Street in Boston, MA.
FORUM, a nine-story, 350,000-square-foot life science building, will rise on one of the last available sites in Boston Landing, a 15-acre mixed-use community along the Massachusetts Pike in Boston’s Allston-Brighton neighborhood.
Designed by SGA for LEED Platinum, WiredScore Platinum and Fitwel certification, FORUM will be net zero operational carbon upon completion, aligning with Lendlease’s Mission Zero initiative and Ivanhoé Cambridge’s commitment to achieve net zero carbon by 2040.
The building will accommodate a ratio of 60% lab space to 40% office space. Floorplates on floors two through nine will accommodate multiple or single tenants, and the building will feature state-of-the-art connectivity and advanced laboratory infrastructure.
Public spaces within FORUM include a community living room for gatherings, lounge, café and gallery to showcase local artists’ works.
The FORUM development team is partnering with MassBioEd, a nonprofit education foundation, to foster workforce development across the life sciences industry. FORUM’s common areas will host programming that helps area students and career seekers learn about life sciences and develop skills that will help them move into careers in the field.
