Suffolk employees working on 585 Kendall project help clean up Charles River with Takeda Pharmaceutical

Cambridge, MA Suffolk employees working on the company’s 585 Kendall project volunteered alongside employees of Takeda Pharmaceutical Company and other members of the 585 Community Partners group to clean up a portion of the Charles River in Cambridge, removing trash and debris along the riverbank. The event was organized in cooperation with the Charles River Conservancy whose mission is to make the Charles River and its parks a well-maintained network of natural urban places that invite and engage all in their use and stewardship.

Scheduled for completion in 2026, 585 Kendall is a 16-story mixed-use lab/office building located in the Canal District of Kendall Square. It will house Takeda’s Global R&D center as well as a 30,000 s/f performing arts center with a 400-seat performance space, flexible multipurpose rooms for workshops and meetings, and an indoor garden developed in partnership with Global Arts Live.
