plans for a new global headquarters

全球新总部计划

just steps away from its current one.

仅仅几步之遥。

The big biotechnology firm has signed a 15-year lease for approximately 580,000 square-feet of space at 55 Broadway in Cambridge, Massachusetts, which is part of a development project led by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Biogen said the lease agreement is with a new joint venture between MIT’s investment management company and BioMed Realty, a life sciences developer owned by Blackstone..

这家大型生物技术公司已签署了位于马萨诸塞州剑桥市百老汇大街55号约580,000平方英尺空间的15年租约，该地点是麻省理工学院主导的一个开发项目的一部分。渤健表示，租赁协议是与MIT的投资管理公司和黑石集团旗下的生命科学开发商BioMed Realty新成立的合资企业签署的。

“Biogen is embarking on a new chapter in the very heart of the community that has shaped our success,” said CEO Christopher Viehbacher in a statement.

“渤健正开启一个新的篇章，深入我们成功所在的社区核心，”首席执行官克里斯托夫·维赫巴赫在一份声明中表示。

The new headquarters are set to open in 2028, aligning with Biogen’s 50th anniversary. It will have laboratories and “upgraded workspaces” meant to spur collaboration by bringing together members of technical, commercial, and research and development teams. It’ll also be designed with sustainable elements like systems that conserve water and use energy more efficiently, Biogen said..

新总部定于2028年开放，与渤健成立50周年的时间一致。该总部将设有实验室和“升级的工作空间”，旨在通过汇集技术、商业以及研发团队的成员来促进协作。渤健表示，新总部还将采用可持续设计元素，例如节水系统和更高效利用能源的设施。

The company intends to be the building’s sole corporate tenant, allowing it to “optimize its real estate footprint in Cambridge” and “create a purpose-built innovation hub.”

公司打算成为该建筑唯一的公司租户，以便“优化其在剑桥的房地产布局”，并“打造一个专门建造的创新中心”。

Biogen’s current base, at 225 Binney Street, is about a five-minute walk away. It’s part of the world famous Kendall Square biotech hub,

百健公司目前的基地位于 Binney 大街 225 号，距离大约五分钟步行路程。 它是世界著名的肯德尔广场生物技术中心的一部分，

like Moderna, Alnylam Pharmaceuticals and Sarepta Therapeutics. According to Biogen, the move centralizes the company’s presence in Kendall Square and is part of a broader, multiyear plan to consolidate real estate in Massachusetts.

像Moderna、Alnylam Pharmaceuticals和Sarepta Therapeutics这样的公司。根据Biogen的说法，此举将公司的存在集中于肯德尔广场，是其在马萨诸塞州整合房地产的多年计划的一部分。

“Biogen has been a foundational presence in the Massachusetts life science ecosystem for close to half a century, and we are thrilled to see them begin a new era in our state,” said Maura Healey, the state’s governor, in that Monday statement.

“近半个世纪以来，Biogen 一直是马萨诸塞州生命科学生态系统的核心力量，我们很高兴看到他们在本州开启新的篇章，”该州州长莫拉·希利 (Maura Healey) 在周一的声明中表示。

Almost a decade ago, the federal government

大约十年前，联邦政府

selected MIT

选择麻省理工学院

to develop a 14-acre parcel of land at the heart of Kendall Square that had previously housed the John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center. MIT has since

开发位于肯德尔广场中心地带的一块14英亩的土地，该土地之前曾是约翰·A·沃尔普国家交通运输系统中心的所在地。自那以后，麻省理工学院

rebranded the area as “Kendall Common,

将该地区重新命名为“肯德尔广场”，

” and aims to turn it into a small, mixed-use neighborhood with parks, a community center, 125,000 square feet of retail space, four residential buildings, and more than 1.75 million square feet of office or lab space.

“并旨在将其转变为一个包含公园、社区中心、12.5万平方英尺零售空间、四栋住宅楼和超过175万平方英尺办公或实验室空间的小型多功能街区。

“It’s fitting that Biogen — a company with such close ties to people at MIT — will make Kendall Common’s first building its new home,” said the university’s president, Sally Kornbluth. “The motto of Kendall Square might as well be 'talent in proximity' and Biogen's decision to intensify its presence here promises great things for the whole ecosystem.”.

“Biogen 这家与 MIT 人员关系密切的公司，将使肯德尔广场第一栋大楼成为其新家，这非常合适，”该大学校长萨莉·科尔布卢斯说。“肯德尔广场的座右铭可以说是‘人才聚集地’，而 Biogen 决定加强其在这里的存在，这对整个生态系统来说预示着伟大的事情。”
