Project Spotlight IQHQ ALEWIFE PARK, CAMBRIDGE EXPANDING A LEADING CENTER FOR LIFE SCIENCES AND TECHNOLOGY

Providing breakthrough technologies and cures to combat deadly diseases, feed the hungry, and heal our environment requires the construction of specialized hubs containing the latest laboratories and advanced biotech facilities. That’s what the members of Local 4 are building in north Cambridge.

With its 26.5-acre site located right next to the MBTA’s Red Line Alewife Station, Alewife Park is one of the most sought-after life science research and technology destinations in the country. The work now being done to fully renovate two existing buildings, while also constructing three new Lab buildings and a precast parking garage, will further enhance Greater Boston’s standing as home to some of the most elite biotech, pharmaceutical, and life-science companies in the world.

At construction manager AECOM Tishman’s IQHQ project, Skanska, JDC, J. Derenzo, and Daniel Marr & Son are hard at work. This is a major project, which will create ample lab spaces for biotech or pharma tenants and allow them to cluster together.

Congratulations to our hardworking Local 4 members for their outstanding work on this important project! Local 4 is proud to have our Operating Engineers supporting groundbreaking efforts to help Massachusetts remain a world leader in the field of biotechnology and life sciences.
