Placemaking

Placemaking is the art of creating an environment which brings happiness, health and a sense of community to the workplace. It goes beyond creating high-performance science spaces.

Placemaking is the act of creating an environment which brings happiness, health and a sense of community to the workplace. We strive to create perfect places for our business partners and their employees.

Innovation takes place in and out of the lab. Spaces that provide recreation, refuge or a change of scene can accelerate the creative process. Whether it be an after work gathering around the fire pit or coffee in one of our spectacular outdoor pavilions, King Street takes care to create spaces that recharge and refresh.

Whether it be an after work gathering around the fire pit in one of our pocket parks, or coffee in our spectacular outdoor pavilion or a rack of free bikes ready to transport colleagues in need of a break to a nearby bike trail, King Street takes care to create spaces that recharge and refresh.

Collaborative Spaces

Places to sit, think and meet out of the work place are critical to innovation. We build spaces ranging in size from two person indoor seating alcoves to pocket parks and other exciting outdoor spaces.

Creative Food

We strive to provide our tenants with high-quality food and beverage options from vendors who create diverse and appealing cuisine for our tenants. From rotating menu programs featuring locally sourced ingredients to specialty-grade coffee featured in onsite coffee bars, we always strive to provide our tenants with unique culinary experiences that fuel their innovative process.

Eco-Friendly Amenities

We promote energy conservation and alternative modes of transportation. We provide shared bicycles and bike storage facilities and connect to public transportation with shuttle services.

Fitness

We support our tenants’ goals for healthier living by constructing facilities such as gyms and locker rooms. We also enhance connections to neighborhood amenities such as bike trails and arrange discounted memberships at nearby health clubs.

Outdoor Recreation

Enjoy riding your bike to work, taking a morning jog or stretching your legs at lunch on the bike path outside your office. The Minuteman Bikeway and the Fitchburg Cutoff Path are a few of the bike trails located adjacent to our properties.

Transportation

Access to public transportation is critical for our tenants to retain top talent. Several of King Street’s properties are located within walking distance of public transportation, but for those that aren’t, King Street provides shuttle service to transportation hubs.
