headquarters of Akamai Technologies in November of 2019. Located at the corner of Broadway and Galileo Galilei Way the building is 19-stories and 250 feet tall, with 444,000 sf. of gross floor area office space. The ground level has 10,000 sf. of ground floor retail, to be partially occupied by CorePower Yoga and Sweetgreens who plan to open in 2021. The building achieved a LEED V4 Core and Shell Gold Rating, has solar panels on the buildings roof, and accommodates vehicular and long-term bike parking in a 5-story below grade garage.

The reconstruction of 145 Broadway is the first phase in a larger three phase Infill Development Concept Plan (IDCP), which was approved by the CRA and the City of Cambridge in January of 2017. As part of the IDCP, Boston Properties made enhancements to redevelop the CRA owned 6th Street Connector, a linear open space connecting Broadway and Binney Street. The improvements included improved lighting, path resurfacing, seating and a new cycle path separated from the pedestrian walkway.
