The Center for Life Science | Boston is the first of its kind in the country, a speculative, privately-owned, high-rise, multi-tenant laboratory building that responds to demand for flexible, cutting-edge research space in one of the nation’s hottest centers of biomedical research activity. Leading academic and medical institution tenants include Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Children’s Hospital Boston, Immune Disease Institute, and Kowa Company.

- Dynamic form and angled glass curtainwall project a confident, forward-looking image.
- Distinctive interior public spaces include a two-story, multipurpose gallery that serves as a hub of activity.
- Fast-track design and up-down construction helped speed project to market five months early.
