Blue Sky Center
Blue Sky Center is a 1.3 million square-foot, world-class office and innovation campus spanning 158 acres at the intersection of four major regional arteries in Burlington, MA. Built to institutional standards, the campus features contemporary architecture, high-end finishes, and robust infrastructure, attracting a diverse mix of tenants—from multinational technology firms to cutting-edge life science and R&D companies—drawn to its highly accessible suburban setting and emphasis on service, quality, and long-term growth.
A recent multi-million-dollar amenity center transformation reimagined 32,000 sf of shared space. Updates to the expansive community lounge, dining facilities and coffee bar, flexible meeting areas, mezzanine gaming suite, and a 7,700 sf fitness center reinforced the world-class wellness- and collaboration-focused campus experience.
