The lack of demand for lab and office space that’s messing with developers throughout the region isn’t changing Boston Properties’ plans for Kendall Square – but a tenant is.
Boston Properties wants to accommodate a lease renewal by the life-sciences company Thermo Fisher by changing plans for two Cambridge lab and office buildings, reallocating 145,000 square feet of space to construction at 105 Broadway St. from 250 Binney St.
The permitting process for this specific proposal is still in its early stages and has yet to be submitted to the city for approval. The shifted plan was revealed to the public at an open house Oct. 9 hosted by the developer and the Cambridge Redevelopment Authority. More public meetings will be held throughout the fall and winter, according to the project website.
