Rockwood Capital and Related Beal announced today that their joint venture has completed the sale of One Kendall Square in East Cambridge, MA to Divco West. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Rockwood and Related Beal acquired the property from Lincoln Property Company and JER Partners for $211 million in 2006.

One Kendall Square is a nine building portfolio encompassing approximately 670,000 square feet of office, laboratory and retail space along with a 1,574-car parking garage, a nine screen cinema and a dynamic development site. The 7.88 acre transit-oriented campus has six full-service restaurants, a variety of shops, a daycare center, a new fitness center, and excellent access to public transportation.

The property is located at the epicenter of Kendall Square/East Cambridge, a submarket revered around the world as a hub for innovation and entrepreneurship, with more than 200 technology and life science companies operating alongside the world's top educational institutions and research centers.

Over the course of their ownership, Rockwood and Related Beal invested $75 million in the property's base building infrastructure, public spaces and tenant improvements. Site upgrades included the addition of small tenant incubator suites for life science start ups, enhanced and expanded food options, the creation of a restaurant hub and the building of amenities such as Cambridge's busiest Hubway bicycle station and a new fitness center for employees of tenants. These initiatives increased occupancy of the nine-building campus to over 91 percent which resulted in the property's net income more than doubling.

Joe Gorin, Managing Director at Rockwood said, "We believe One Kendall Square is a great example of our ability to create value in a property, and we are proud of the site's transformation into the city's premier science and technology address. The Boston area will continue to be a key target market for Rockwood."

Tyson Skillings, Rockwood Partner and Portfolio Manager added, "The successful sale of this building showcases our strategy of investing in well-located real estate that provides opportunity to outperform over the long term and offers value to our investors."

"We could not be more pleased with the performance of the asset, including this significant transaction. Our partner Rockwood Capital shared a consistent vision with us for what One Kendall Square could be, the most successful mixed-use campus in East Cambridge, and to see it through to execution is very rewarding," said Stephen Faber, Executive Vice President of Related Beal. "Success did not just happen; it was born from a lot of hard work from the entire ownership and management team."

Today, One Kendall Square is home to an impressive tenant roster with more than 50 quality companies, including Merrimack Pharmaceuticals, Akamai, Nine Point Medical, MIT, Abcam, Next Jump, CRB Consulting Engineers, Invivo Therapeutics, Redstar Ventures, Visterra, Inc., Cogo Labs, Semprus Biosciences and Catabasis.
