Third Square, at 285 Third Street in Cambridge, is a rental apartment community of about 480 residences in two eight-story buildings, completed in 2008 between Kendall Square and East Cambridge.
Extell Development and Equity Residential developed Third Square on a 3.3-acre former vacant lot bounded by Third Street, Potter Street, Fifth Street and Linskey Way. CetraRuddy designed the two U-shaped buildings, the North Building with about 290 apartments and the South Building with about 190 homes, which wrap a landscaped central courtyard that is open to the public during daylight hours. Facades combine brick, stucco, metal panels and glazed bay windows, and a 530-car garage sits below grade. Equity Residential manages the community today. A small number of homes in the South Building are individually owned condominiums.
Apartments range from studios and one-bedroom homes to two- and three-bedroom layouts, including loft-style homes. Features include in-home washers and dryers, central air, stainless appliances, granite counters and oversized windows, and select homes have 12-foot or vaulted ceilings, white oak floors, walk-in closets or balconies.
Amenities include a heated indoor pool, a 24-hour fitness center, a yoga room, concierge service, an entertainment lounge, a conference room, a kids' play area, additional storage and EV charging. The courtyard has grilling areas, fire pits and garden planters, and there is a dog run. Restaurants occupy the ground floor.
The Kendall/MIT Red Line station and the Lechmere Green Line station are both within walking distance, and the Charles River paths, the CambridgeSide shops and MIT are close by. Nearby residential buildings include Watermark Kendall West on Third Street and One First in East Cambridge.
Third Square offers a full amenity package and courtyard setting a short walk from Kendall Square.
