Permit Details: The existing 35 Cambridge Park Drive site is currently comprised of two primary structures: a three-story steel and masonry office building (representing approximately 137,635 SF of Gross Floor Area) as well as a three-story steel and concrete structured parking facility (accommodating 351 parking spaces and exempt from the site’s total Gross Floor Area). The existing office building currently includes a two-story extension to the east which faces the adjacent Alewife MBTA station. The edge facing the MBTA station currently consists of asphalt pavement, fencing along the Alewife Station Access Road and several pieces of outdoor mechanical and electrical equipment (including the primary building transformer and generator). The proposed modifications to the site include an addition to the existing building, the demolition of the two-story extension and the relocation of the outdoor mechanical and electrical equipment. In addition to the renovation of the existing levels, which includes the re-cladding of the entire building, two new levels will be added vertically to the existing structure, for a total of five occupied levels of technical office use. This expansion represents approximately an additional 47,139 SF of Gross Floor Area, bringing the total Gross Floor Area to approximately 184,774 SF (which represents an FAR of 1.75). The footprint of the building will not significantly change, other than a minor extension at the south and east facades between levels 2-5. The building height will be approximately 69’-0” above the average grade (excluding the mechanical penthouse and screened area), which is within the allowable zoning height of 85’-0. The garage will remain (with minor modifications) and the total parking count will be reduced by approximately 20 spaces, totaling 331 spaces. The eastern edge of the site has been given special consideration through the design process. This space is of significant importance as it constitutes an urban “gateway” to Cambridge Park Drive and welcomes pedestrians from the adjacent Alewife MBTA station. The removal of the existing two-story extension at this part of the site results in additional open space to accommodate active uses and considerable public realm upgrades to facilitate a softer, more engaging pedestrian experience at this edge. Approximately 7,500 SF of retail use will be provided on the ground level to enliven this critical corner of the site and to activate the street edge at Cambridge Park Drive. This retail edge, in concert with landscape features, hardscaped areas and new and existing street trees, will establish an active urban streetscape along Cambridge Park Drive.
