Attending the ceremony was the full project team, architect SGA; civil engineers VHB; MEP & FP engineers, AHA Consulting; structural engineers McNamara Salvia; geotechnical engineers Haley & Aldrich; leasing brokers JLL; and Iron Workers Local 7.

Revolution Labs is a 180,000 s/f office and lab building with a 442-space standalone precast garage located at 1050 Waltham St. Among the property’s best-in-class amenity spaces are covered parking with a solar canopy and electric vehicle charging stations, shuttle service to the nearby Alewife MBTA station, a fitness center, bike share and storage, an onsite café, lockers and showers, lounge areas and meeting spaces, a sport court, an amenity deck with a fire pit, and a connection to more than four miles of nature trails along the Western Greenway. Revolution Labs also has cutting-edge lab infrastructure and is aiming for LEED Gold and WELL Building certifications.
“With the Revolution Labs project, it was our goal to continue to add value in the Greater Boston life science market with a design focused on the end user. I am proud to say in collaboration with our valued partners, we are well on our way to achieving that goal,” said Kevin Sheehan, co-founder and managing partner at Greatland Realty Partners. “We are thrilled to bring this dynamic project to completion and provide significant life science space in the heart of Lexington.”
