Kendall Headhouse
As part of BXP’s 325 Main Street development, BXP has reconstructed the entrance, also called a “headhouse,” to the outbound Kendall Square MBTA station. BXP completed temporary access to the station through the basement of 325 Main Street in 2024 to allow for undisrupted Red Line access while headhouse construction is underway.
The renovation modernizes the existing structure and introduces a new public patio on its second floor. A new elevator improves access between the station’s underground platform, street level, and second floor patio. The rooftop patio also connects to 325 Main Street’s second level porch and to the stairwell for the Urban Park Roof Garden.
The project is currently undergoing final inspections and is anticipated to open in mid-2026.
