Not far from the site of the underground substation in Kendall Square, MIT is proceeding with the creation of a dynamic mixed-use project on the site. The master plan for the site development was approved in 2021 by the Planning Board after a community engagement process. The proposed development includes nearly 3 million square feet of space providing retail and restaurants, market-rate and affordable housing units, a community center, and science and innovation facilities. The vibrant, mixed-use center will also provide pedestrian links and publicly accessible open space, including a large park at the corner of Third Street and Broadway, a linear park adjacent to Sixth Street/Loughrey Way, a park adjacent to the community center, and a park on Binney Street.
Foundation work has commenced and will continue into 2026. Broadway will have a one-way detour in place until spring 2026.
