Cambridge Crossing
Boston – Shawmut Design and Construction recently announced its involvement with DivcoWest’s Cambridge Crossing (CX). The 45-acre mixed-use development will consist of planned commercial, retail, and residential space, along with public and green space beside state-of-the-art science and tech facilities in the East Cambridge neighborhood. Shawmut is engaged on five separate projects throughout the development, including public commons and retail buildings located across three parcels.
Shawmut, in partnership with Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates, will build-out The Common at Cambridge Crossing to help form an 11-acre centralized public and green space which will become the focal point of the 4.5 million-square-foot development. Wide-ranging landscaping, bike, and walking paths will connect eclectic retail, dining, commercial, residential, and transportation options amongst custom water features, open-air amphitheaters, and a community plaza.

Shawmut will also construct three retail buildings that will contribute to the 100,000sf of retail and dining space within the new development. In partnership with Prellwitz Chilinski Associates, the three parcels will seamlessly blend together the common landscape by utilizing metal, glass, and cedar materials and design palettes. The buildings will be complete with operable garage doors that will open to the outside, creating indoor-outdoor seating and gathering spaces to deliver a unique, local neighborhood experience.
