Riverside Development Creates Flex/R&D Space at Cambridge Property
An affiliate of Riverside Properties, Inc. has completed its redevelopment of 613-629 Cambridge St. in Cambridge, MA. Formerly home to the Mayflower Poultry Company, known locally for its “Live Poultry – Fresh Killed” sign, the property was reconfigured for a mix of commercial uses, including office, research & development, laboratory and retail.
“Riverside’s vision for redeveloping 613-629 Cambridge St. was to create highly flexible R&D space for locally founded companies with teams in and around Kendall Square/MIT,” said president Brett Levy. “While sites like this are often sold for residential or laboratory development, we saw a unique opportunity to reimagine the building within its existing footprint by maximizing the use of its tall ceilings and high-capacity concrete floors, making it ideal for the use of large and heavy equipment.”
Before completion, Riverside secured a lease with a company headquartered in Kendall Square for 16,500 square feet of the 17,500-square-foot building, working with the tenant to design and construct a facility supporting its research in robotics and AI.
