ABOUT E CAMBRIDGE/KENDALL SQ
Located across the Charles River from Boston, this urban neighborhood is a premier destination for tech, education, and innovation. Bookended by access to two MBTA rail lines and a bus system that feed into the downtown core, the area has seen a swath of new development in the last two decades.
Situated just North of MIT, the neighborhood attracts a concentration of tech and life companies. The area bounded by Main and Binney Streets is called “the most innovative square mile on the planet” and is home to several Fortune 500 global and regional headquarters. The proximity to world-class higher education institutes has led companies to cluster in the neighborhood, making it the global epicenter for life science R&D.
Capitalizing on the high-paying jobs that have come to the area, East Cambridge has a growing food scene along its main thoroughfares and the CambridgeSide shopping mall along First Street. New residences have also been added to the neighborhood as part of a wider mixed-use development adjacent to the MBTA Green Line.
Given its prime location and recently built high-quality office space, East Cambridge leads Greater Boston with the most expensive rents. Demand has quieted recently, coming off a life science surge in 2022. As such, there are a range of options for quality office space in what has historically been a very tight space market.
