Commercial Real Estate in Cambridge
The real estate environment in Cambridge is characterized by both commercial districts composed of mixed-use retail and office centers and by development districts composed of R&D and office cores, with strong residential neighborhoods located in between. Commercial real estate development in Cambridge combines attractive characteristics of the old and the new: the innovative reuse of existing structures and the construction of highly efficient new facilities. The commercial rental market offers competitively priced office space and specialized R&D facilities, as well as a variety of retail venues managed by well capitalized and knowledgeable owners.
The City guides development through an orderly process, utilizing control over infrastructure, planned unit development, and zoning strategies. Growth is expected to continue in the City’s development districts, which have been rezoned as mixed-use districts in response to the demands of the new economy.
