Developer Sued Over Approved 1.5M SF Somerville Labs
New York-based Somerville Office, LP has filed a lawsuit against BioMed Realty and Cresset Development over claims of $22 million in damages regarding development of Xmbly in Somerville.
The suit claims Somerville Office, LP - who sold the 5-7 Middlesex Avenue development site to Cresset Development in 2018 - is owed $22,300,000 as a result of a clause that grants Somerville Office, LP earnouts from property improvements. BioMed Realty purchased the project in January, 2021 for $163 million.
A 4-phase development featuring nearly 2 million SF of space, BioMed Realty filed plans for an additional 391,200 SF development at Xmbly in June.
