Property of the Month: Kenney Development’s Navy Yard Plaza creates a perfect environment for businesses and employees

Charlestown, MA As companies address the options of where to locate their headquarters to best meet not only their business needs, but also provide a desirable work environment for their employees, Navy Yard Plaza offers a perfect solution, providing premier space suitable for offices, R&D and/or bio-lab facilities.

Originally part of a four-building historic restoration project comprised of more than 250,000 s/f of office and retail space, Navy Yard Plaza sits within the former Charlestown Navy Yard and is surrounded by public parks and museums. Buildings 34 & 39 provide updated suites that still retain their historic nature while providing modern infrastructure. Employees enjoy convenient commuting options with easy access to Rte. 1 and I-93, ferry boat service to Long Wharf and the financial district, MBTA Bus Route 93 access, and ample parking nearby.

Navy Yard Plaza was successfully developed by Kenney Development Company, providing responsive ownership and attentive management through its affiliate, Fulton Properties. Tenants in either building have elevator access with key card security. For workplace convenience, they can grab coffee at the on-site Dunkin’, walk across the street to a 7-Eleven, enjoy lunch or dinner at the Dovetail Restaurant, or enjoy a beer after work at The Anchor beer garden on the pier.

A rich history
Abounding in history, the Charlestown Navy Yard built, repaired and out?tted U.S. naval ships from 1800 to 1974. Today, it serves as a National Historical Park and is home to the world’s oldest commissioned warship–the USS Constitution. After 174 years of innovation in sciences, manufacturing, and engineering for the US Navy, that spirit of innovation continues in the Navy Yard Plaza with Buildings 34 and 39 offering some of Boston’s most desirable office and R&D space.

Navy Yard Plaza provides ample commercial space with the infrastructure demanded by today’s corporate tenants. The unique nature of these buildings allows for a wide range of commercial uses while retaining historic and charming features such as high ceilings, large windows and exposed brick and beam architecture.

While life sciences research, healthcare and medical education are significant components to the business activity in the Charlestown Navy Yard, it also is bustling with vibrant cafes, shops, restaurants, and bars along its several piers, making Navy Yard Plaza the premier place on Boston’s waterfront to create, innovate and enjoy.
