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."
