Devens, MA – King Street Properties recently welcomed Massachusetts Secretary Yvonne Hao to the grand opening of its new amenity space at Pathway Devens, a 700,000sf state-of-the-art advanced manufacturing campus.
The stand-alone amenity building on Jackson Road in Devens, now open for both employees at Pathway Devens and the larger community, was designed to offer a new and unique gathering spot in Devens. Named “The Canteen,” the building features a new Sterling Street Brewery taproom, a cafe, and gathering spaces inside and out, which are open to the public. In addition to the public spaces, the 7,175sf space includes tenant areas such as conference rooms, a gaming room, wellness room, locker rooms and showers, and a “winter garden” where employees at Pathway Devens can work, socialize, play games, and unwind.
King Street broke ground in Devens in 2020 and since then it has welcomed tenants that include Commonwealth Fusion Systems, Electric Hydrogen, Azzur, and Ascend Elements. The Pathway Devens campus was designed to create quick, efficient ready-to-work infrastructure for tenants with specialized manufacturing needs.
“We are excited to see Devens growing with the addition of Pathway Devens and its new Canteen, which will provide those working in the area with a fun place to meet with colleagues, socialize, and share ideas,” said Hao. “We congratulate King Street Properties on the opening of this exciting space and remain grateful for their ongoing partnership, along with our colleagues at MassDevelopment, in making Devens a regional hub for economic activity.”
“Today we are celebrating a major milestone for Pathway Devens – the completion of The Canteen and the grand opening of Sterling Street brewery,” said Tyson Reynoso, King Street managing director and partner. “We have now delivered over half of our campus, and we are proud to call Pathway Devens the home to companies that are all tacking some of the world’s biggest issues in climate and human health.”
Local muralist Kim Carlino also joined the ribbon-cutting celebration, acknowledging her hand painted “Remembrance for the Future” mural on the exterior of The Canteen. The mural pays homage to the history of the site as the former home to the Fort Devens Army base built in 1917 during WWI. The colorful mural symbolizes renewal, remembrance, and growth.
