Your contact details
Choosing your Somerville location
In Somerville, compare Union Square, Boynton Yards, the Inner Belt and Assembly-area locations with the needs of your company. The original guide discussed those areas separately; a useful shortlist should preserve that distinction rather than treating every Somerville address alike.
Historical examples in the original guide included 101 South Street at Boynton Yards, USQ, 26–28 Chestnut Street and the former Xmbly site. Check present project status, ownership and exact premises before pursuing any of them; the old delivery forecasts do not show what space is available now.
Lease an existing lab or consider shared space
Tell Amo Realty what work your company plans to carry out in Somerville, the square footage you need and the date you need to start. Distinguish a dedicated laboratory from shared facilities and office space accompanying a lab. Ask for current property details; this guide is not a live availability feed.
For a lease, compare the premises and any existing fit-out with your equipment and staffing needs. Ask what work remains, who would pay for it and how the lease timetable relates to occupation. An advertised lab description is not confirmation that the space supports your particular process.
Buying and converting an existing building
If you want to acquire a property in Somerville, describe whether you need an operating laboratory or an office or industrial building to convert. Building age and an attractive location do not establish that a conversion will work.
Ask your architect and engineers to review ceiling and service space, structural loads and vibration, ventilation and exhaust, utility capacity, loading access and the space needed for equipment. Requirements depend on the proposed activities; the old guide’s generic dimensions and cost estimates should not be used as a project specification or quotation.
Land and purpose-built facilities
For a new laboratory or manufacturing facility in Somerville, identify the intended use, site size, budget and delivery date before comparing land. Research and development, biomanufacturing and other laboratory operations can require different premises.
A property being marketed for sale does not prove that your proposed use is permitted or that the required infrastructure can be installed. Your advisers need to review the site, approvals and development work before you rely on a construction schedule or total project budget.
Describe the property your company needs
Send the required Somerville location, whether you plan to lease or buy, approximate size, intended research or manufacturing activities, equipment requirements, budget and timing. If you are considering a conversion or new construction, say so. Amo Realty can discuss your property search; technical approval, suitable inventory and a completed transaction are not promised by submitting an inquiry.
