Enterprise Research Campus Update #1 (August 2023)

Tishman Speyer is excited to announce that we have started construction on Phase A of the Enterprise Research Campus (ERC). Phase A of the ERC will transform a historically underutilized and vacant site on Western Avenue into a vibrant mixed-use community. It will contain approximately 900,000 square feet of mixed-use development, including residential, office/lab, hotel, conference center, restaurant, and retail use spaces, as well as new open space. Our goal is to help enhance an already diverse community and establish a welcoming environment to all. The Tishman Speyer team thanks you and other members of the community for being great partners over the past two years, and we can’t wait to be your new neighbor.

As the Enterprise Research Campus (ERC) project continues, we will provide project notifications that outline upcoming and impactful activities, including a map of the area for reference.

Residential/Hotel

Crews have mobilized on site, which included erection of site fences, delivery of equipment, installing utility monitoring points, and set-up of storm water and rodent control systems. Pre-clearing of soils and regulated materials and pre-trenching took place. Sheet pile installation as preparation for the buildings’ foundation is under way with bulk excavation beginning the week of August 7th. Delivery of triple wide field office trailers will also take place next week.

Laboratory and Office Buildings

Crews have mobilized on site with fencing installed and all as described above taking place. Pre-clearing and pre-trenching has happened to prepare for the buildings’ foundation support. The installation of sheet piles and an underground retaining wall made up of secant piles are being installed.

Greenway

This section of the site is currently being used for laydown space until crews mobilize later this summer.

Treehouse Conference Center

This section of the site is currently being used for laydown space until crews mobilize later this summer.

Building Mock-Ups

Fencing and barriers are being installed in a section at the 2 Hague Street parking lot as construction begins on the first two of five mock-ups, which assist in evaluating design and constructability. Construction work will be taking place inside the new site on a median and in a part of the parking lot at the corner of Hague Street and Science Drive. The mock-ups will remain on site for the duration of the projects.
