Macrolide Pharmaceuticals leases space at new LINX Watertown office building
Macrolide Pharmaceuticals has leased over 18,000 square feet at the new 185,000-square-foot LINX Watertown creative office and lab building, which opened last Summer. Macrolide’s lease follows C4 Therapeutics’ lease of over 45,000 square feet at the building in July. Macrolide is a developer of preclinical antibiotic compounds that fight some of today’s most dangerous bacterial threats.
Macrolide’s move to LINX epitomizes Watertown’s emergence as a life science hub and credible alternative to traditional locations such as Kendall Square. “LINX, with its' proximity to Boston and Cambridge, continues to attract top-notch life science companies...[who] appreciate that this property is in a walkable, urban neighborhood with new housing, restaurants, retail and hotels," said Bill McQuillan, President of LINX developer Boylston Properties, in a prepared statement. Boylston Properties is also constructing Arsenal Yards, a transformative mixed-use development located steps from LINX, which will feature 350,000 square feet of retail and entertainment, approximately 425 residences ranging from studios to three-bedrooms, a 145-room Hampton Inn and Suites by Hilton hotel and 100,000 square feet of office space.
