Tishman Speyer & Harvard Break Ground on 9-Acre Mixed-Use Development in Alliston

Construction is underway for the inaugural phase of the Enterprise Research Campus (ERC) in Boston's Allston neighborhood. This dynamic nine-acre mixed-use development, greenlit by the Boston Planning and Development Agency in 2022, marks a significant step forward in fostering innovation and community engagement.

A Vision Unveiled: The Components of ERC's First Phase

The approved first phase of ERC comprises two cutting-edge laboratory buildings, a 343-unit rental apartment complex, a hotel, and over two acres of meticulously planned public outdoor space. Each element is thoughtfully designed to contribute to the project's overarching goals of promoting sustainability, inclusivity, and collaboration within the community.

The David Rubenstein Treehouse: A Mass-Timber Marvel

As part of Tishman Speyer's development efforts on behalf of Harvard University, the David Rubenstein Treehouse will stand as a beacon of innovation. This mass-timber structure is not just an architectural marvel but will also function as a campus-wide conference facility. Its integration into the ERC underscores the commitment to pushing the boundaries of sustainable design and fostering collaborative initiatives.

ERC's Mission: Innovation, Inclusivity, and Equity

The ERC development is more than just a construction project; it's a commitment to driving innovation, fostering inclusivity, and promoting equity. Through community engagement initiatives and sustainable design practices, Tishman Speyer, in collaboration with Harvard University, aims to create a vibrant and forward-thinking environment that transcends traditional development boundaries.

Shaping the Future: ERC's Impact on Boston's Landscape

As construction progresses on the ERC, its impact on Boston's Allston neighborhood becomes increasingly tangible. This ambitious endeavor is poised not only to reshape the physical landscape with state-of-the-art structures but also to redefine the socio-economic and collaborative dynamics within the community. Tishman Speyer and Harvard University's joint effort stands as a testament to the power of thoughtful development in shaping a brighter, more interconnected future.
