610 Lincoln Street North - Waltham, MAWaltham, MA According to Hobbs Brook Management LLC, a commercial property management and development firm specializing in leasing, construction and development of class A office space, its repositioned and renovated office building at 610 Lincoln St. North has been certified LEED Gold by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC). Designed by Margulies Perruzzi Architects (MPA) and located within the Hobbs Brook Office Park, 610 Lincoln St. North features flexible floor plans, on-site dining, multiple amenities, and access to the Forefront Conference Center.
Designed for single or multi-tenant occupancy, the completely renovated building features 86,169 s/f of highly efficient office space on three floors, and comes with a 3.7 parking ratio and front-desk security. To open the lobby to more natural light, MPA redesigned the main entrance with a new two-story glass vestibule. An additional 6,000 s/f of office space was gained by lowering the building grade and moving mechanical equipment to the roof. The sustainable upgrade of 610 Lincoln St. North includes new HVAC systems, windows, electrical systems, and fireproofing.
