The property also offers abundant parking, when paired with a location just off of Rte. 2 and the Alewife Brook Pkwy. as well as ample parking, provides tenants with an easy commute.

Cushman & Wakefield's Juliette Reiter, Mark Winters and David Townsend have been retained for all future leasing activity at One Alewife Center. During the past year, the Cushman & Wakefield capital markets team has played a key role in the marketing and sale of more than $250 million in assets located in the West Cambridge market. "Some of the region's most successful companies have either a headquarters or a significant presence in West Cambridge," said Pullen. "This presence, paired with growing amenities and a number of mixed-use developments currently underway, including 1,400 new residential units, makes West Cambridge the area's newest live-work-play market."
