The Evolution of Kendall Square

1550 Main Street Lauded by BOMA Mid-Atlantic
1550 Main Street, designed by Arrowstreet, was awarded The Outstanding Building of the Year distinction by the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) for the second consecutive year in a row.

In addition, Arrowstreet redesigned the central plaza to improve circulation and its position as a meeting place on Main Street.
