The consummation of this joint venture completes NBIM’s two-building investment in Cambridge, Massachusetts with a gross valuation of approximately $1.66 billion or $2,050 per square foot. The properties – 290 Binney Street and 300 Binney Street – total 810,000 square feet and are each 100% pre-leased.
