Devens, MA – BW Kennedy & Co. has completed construction at 75 Jackson, a 210,000sf advanced manufacturing facility that marks the latest addition to King Street Properties’ Pathways Devens campus, with design by Vivo Architecture.
When fully built out, the campus will include five manufacturing buildings and an amenities center. With the completion of 75 Jackson, four of the five manufacturing buildings are now finished, along with the amenities center, The Canteen, which currently houses Sterling Street Brewery.
Like the other buildings in the 700,000sf Pathways Devens campus, 75 Jackson was designed for maximum flexibility, accommodating either a single tenant or multiple users. The building offers 170,000sf on the first floor and 40,000sf on the second, featuring high bays and wide column spacing to support a range of advanced manufacturing operations. Clear heights on both levels of up to 38 feet in the high-bay areas are designed to ensure adaptability for evolving equipment and processes.
The exterior combines a precast wall panel system, metal accents panel, and curtainwall/storefront entrances, constructed to maintain the campus’ cohesive design. On-site amenities include a landscaped plaza, six-door loading dock, utility yard with space for future generators and bulk tank pads, a pedestrian walkway, and parking. The facility also provides 12,000 amps of power, supporting the demanding electrical needs of advanced manufacturing, life sciences, and clean energy companies.
Development of the Pathways campus began in 2020 with 45 Jackson and its associated infrastructure. Built on a former military base, the site presented unique challenges, including potential unexploded ordnances (UXO) from its past use. As with all campus projects, BW Kennedy implemented a rigorous safety program, including special UXO training for all workers.
