Harvard has chosen Tishman Speyer as the preferred developer for the 14-acre initial phase of its planned Enterprise Research Campus along Western Avenue in Allston.
The selection is a step forward in the college’s plans to build a new neighborhood next door to it’s new Science and Engineering Complex and across the street from Harvard Business School, but officials said it would still be at least two years before ground breaks on the project — which features 900,000 square feet of lab and office space, apartments, and a hotel and conference center.
“Tishman Speyer will bring to Allston a wealth of experience shaped by extraordinary work around the world, and we look forward to the further development of the Enterprise Research Campus,” Harvard President Larry Bacow said in a statement. “The convergence of art, business and engineering in a new urban district will create opportunities for creativity and innovation that will drive achievements in research that none of us can imagine.”
The New York-based developer beat out a field that was narrowed down to nine developers, then three over the fall.
Tishman Speyer’s proposal came out on top based on its focus on “bold and innovative” architecture, attention to creating a public realm and its inclusion of affordable housing “that exceeds municipal requirements,” Harvard stated in a press release.
The firm said its plan for the new campus is to create buildings and open spaces that are configured to simultaneously maximize user comfort and offer a diverse mix of program potential. Its proposal says it will focus on creating social infrastructure that promotes “inclusivity, shared experiences, collaboration and human happiness … where cultural identity is expressed and authentically celebrated.”
