Industrious Opens 1st Cambridge Location
The company is taking space at a Harvard Square property owned by Carpenter & Co.
Industrious has opened Industrious Harvard Square, a 21,550-square-foot coworking space in Cambridge, Mass., marking the firm’s first location within the Boston submarket. The company partnered with owner Carpenter & Co. Inc. to lease the fifth floor at Charles Square, a 115,000-square-foot general office building.
The new space will encompass 240 dedicated desks, 47 offices suitable for one to 20 people, four suites, 12 phone booths and one focus room. Amenities include private conference rooms, access to office supplies and color printing, mail and packaging services, a wellness room, daily breakfast and craft coffee, as well as access to community events.
While Cambridge is a high barrier to entry submarket and Boston being one of Industrious’ top-performing markets, the new space will fill a gap in an important area close to the country’s most esteemed Ivy League institution, mentioned Doug Feinberg, senior director of real estate at Industrious, in a prepared statement.
Located at 20 University Road, the space is next to Harvard Kennedy School and within half a mile of Harvard University. Several businesses, retail and dining options at Harvard Square are within walking distance of the location.
The space marks Industrious’ seventh location in the area, in addition to Legacy Place, another 35,441-square-foot flex office space in Dedham, Mass., which opened in November last year. More recently, the firm entered the Charleston market with a 34,028-square-foot coworking space at 677 King St.
