Lofts at Kendall Square

Lofts at Kendall Square, at 249 Third Street in Cambridge's Kendall Square, is a loft apartment community that combines a beautifully refurbished factory building with newer additions, a short walk from MIT.

Managed by Equity Residential, the community was built in phases and offers two distinct styles of home. The Lofts showcase the original industrial building, with vaulted or high ceilings, exposed beams and columns, and oversized windows, while The Flats offer a more contemporary layout. The property is LEED certified and uses a solar photovoltaic system and a cogeneration energy system.

Apartments range from studios to two-bedroom homes, with a three-bedroom plan also offered. Interiors feature hard-surface floors, granite counters, and stainless steel appliances, with washers and dryers and private balconies in select homes.

The amenity list is broad. Residents have a 24-hour fitness center and yoga studio, a rooftop deck with grills, a landscaped courtyard with community garden planters, a pet spa, work spaces and conference rooms, and a media lounge. Garage and reserved parking, storage, 24-hour package access, electric vehicle charging, and on-site Zipcars round out the services.

The location is one of the most walkable in the region, with a Walk Score of 95. MIT, the Kendall/MIT Red Line station, and the restaurants and labs of Kendall Square are close by, and the Broad Canal Walk and the Paul Dudley White Bike Path along the Charles River are nearby. Watermark Kendall East and the CambridgeSide shops are a short walk away, and downtown Boston is a quick ride across the river.

For renters who want genuine loft character in the middle of Kendall Square, Lofts at Kendall Square offers a mix of history and modern convenience.
