“Cambridge Discovery Park is an ideal location for an innovative boutique hotel like AC Hotels By Marriott,” said Bulfinch SVP, director of leasing Michael Wilcox. “We are pleased to bring a world-class hotel to the Park not only for our tenants, but for the surrounding community who will also benefit from its easily accessible location and cutting-edge services and amenities.”

 The AC Hotel Boston Cambridge is located within Cambridge Discover Park, a world class, 27-acre office and research campus in Cambridge. CDP currently features 400,000 s/f in three buildings and a parking garage, an abundance of lush green space, powerful infrastructure and public utilities. Surrounded by Alewife Brook Reservation, it is one of the largest campuses in Cambridge. Approximately 250,000 s/f of new lab, R&D, and first class office space has been permitted and is a tremendous build-to-suit opportunity within the Park. CDP is accessible by foot or a five-minute shuttle ride from the Alewife MBTA Red Line Station, 20 minutes from Boston and Logan Airport, and nine minutes to Rte. 128.

 “We are excited to see the completion of this next phase of development at Cambridge Discovery Park,” said JLL managing director Pete Bekarian. “The visionary team at Bulfinch has continued to position the campus as one of the leaders in this region, and this is just the latest in what has become a robust list of amenities at the park.”
