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 uninterrupted 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 was undergoing final inspections and was declared open by the MBTA on Monday, April 20, 2026.
