The Bulfinch Companies

The Bulfinch Companies is a third-generation commercial real estate firm that acquires, develops, manages and leases properties around Boston. It owns and manages roughly 3 million square feet of medical, biotech and office space, and its leasing portfolio also includes lab, general office, retail, industrial and residential properties. The firm has built a reputation for identifying opportunities and repositioning properties into valuable space, which it describes as its “vision to value” promise.

Projects show that approach in practice. Bulfinch turned Acorn Park in Cambridge, one of the first post-war suburban office parks, into a state-of-the-art life science campus, and repositioned the nearly vacant Atrium Mall, in a suburb a short drive from the Longwood Medical Area, into a health, wellness and medical center. It also renovated common areas at a Needham Crossing office building in the N2 Corridor tech hub to attract and keep tenants.
