BOSTON, Jan.10, 2023 – JLL announces today that it has been awarded the leasing of Paradigm and an institutional investor’s premier asset. Renovated to accommodate innovative companies, Riverworks is comprised of three interconnected buildings totalling 202,000 SF of brick and beam Class A space that is flexible for a variety of users.
“Riverworks is an incredible and valuable opportunity for companies to have a first-class workspace that brings modern amenities into a historic building,” said Chris Decembrele, Managing Director at JLL. “With expansive window lines, high ceilings, substantial power and a collaborative environment, Riverworks is a unique and creative workspace for companies looking to execute on their cutting-edge ideas and solve real challenges.”
Uniquely positioned, Riverworks is currently the only Class A office space available in Watertown and features a picturesque and accessible location along the banks of the Charles River. The historic former mill complex has hosted some of New England’s most legendary manufacturing companies and now presents opportunity for the makers and tough-tech tenants of today’s market. Riverworks pairs a robust infrastructure with modernized building systems to meet the needs of the most forward-thinking Office and R&D companies. Recently renovated onsite amenities include a full-service cafeteria, fitness center, interior courtyard, and ample parking.
The property is well located to various transit options, including the Mass Pike, and a short drive into downtown Boston and the neighbouring towns of Cambridge and Somerville. Tenants will also have access to the MBTA, with a bus stop in front of the building.
