Boylston Properties Moving on Lab Project

BOSTON-A green building is about to come out of the ground here mere blocks from the city’s legendary Green Monster at Fenway Park. The six-story, 130,000-sf laboratory facility at 121 Brookline Ave. is being developed by Boylston Properties, a Boston firm aiming to launch the pre-certified LEED project this summer.

“We have already received a high level of interest in the building,” reports Richards Barry Joyce & Partners President Robert Richards, who negotiated the recent sale of 121 Brookline Ave. for $8.7 million, a transaction previously reported by GlobeSt.com. The so-called Longwood Research Center is especially attractive given its close proximity to the Longwood Medical Area, Richards explains, noting that the LMA is a nationally known hub for life sciences research and medical care.

Boylston Properties President William McQuillan terms the venture “an excellent investment,” particularly in being fully permitted for construction. “We look forward to the successful completion of this project,” says McQuillan, whose firm has retained Richards and RBJ VP Chris McCauley as exclusive leasing agents for the LRC.
