Project Description
The Project will involve the conversion of the existing approximately 97,000 square foot office building at 51-61 Melcher Street to life science use. While the existing building envelope will not be expanded, the Project will include physical changes to the interior and minor upgrades to the exterior of the building, including to loading facilities and mechanical equipment. The Project provides an exciting opportunity to develop additional life science laboratory and supporting office space to accommodate the burgeoning life sciences industry in Boston. The Project will meet the commercial needs of the Fort Point neighborhood while maintaining the existing historic character of the neighborhood.
