Waltham, MA Hobbs Brook Management LLC has selected Gilbane Building Company to provide preconstruction and construction management services for its new 500,000 s/f office and lab development at 225 Wyman St. in the Hobbs Brook Office Park. Construction will begin this month and be completed in 2021.

The new five-story building is being designed by Gensler to meet LEED Silver certification and be lab-capable to satisfy both laboratory/research and development and traditional office needs. The site’s landscape plan, designed by OJB Landscape Architecture, will include both paved and permeable walkways, seating areas, walking trails, along with landscaped courtyards. The project will also include a new parking garage within the Hobbs Brook Office Park to accommodate parking needs for the complex.

“We selected Gilbane for their extensive expertise in planning and building laboratory facilities,” said Brad Cardoso, AIA, principal architect at Hobbs Brook Management. “Gilbane has previously worked with Gensler on projects of this size and they are well-positioned for a successful project.”

JLL is the exclusive leasing agent for 225 Wyman St.
