The site’s amenities include a structured parking garage, a “Collaboration Center” that offers a dedicated conference center, a “grab-and-go” café and a lounge area with interior seating, as well as an exterior patio.

Located a quarter mile from the intersection of Rtes. 2 and 128 and offering shuttle service to the MBTA’s Red Line and Lexington Center, Ledgemont provides space for New England’s growing life science and technology companies in a prime location.

Hobbs Brook Management represented itself in the transaction and the seller was represented by Frank Petz and Matthew Sherry of JLL.
