The development will also include street-level retail outlets, dining establishments, and open space spanning more than two acres designed for public events such as farmer’s markets, concerts, and outdoor fitness classes.

The campus occupies 9.4 acres adjacent to the Harvard Business School and Harvard Science and Engineering Complex in Allston, strategically positioned within the life science and innovation cluster.

JLL Capital Markets team is led by executive managing director Mike Tepedino, senior managing director Brett Paulsrud, managing director Geoff Goldstein, and associates Mike Shepard and Hugh Doherty, who represented the borrower in securing the loan.

Paulsrud said: “The location adjacent to Harvard’s campus provides a unique competitive advantage for ERC in one of the most coveted life science and biotech ecosystems.

“The project will not only attract the world’s most innovative companies but will also have direct access to the unparalleled talent pool generated by Harvard, MIT, and the many other prestigious institutions surrounding the area.”
