CAMBRIDGE, MA— In a strategic move to activate one of Harvard Square’s most sought-after retail locations, The Bulfinch Companies, Inc. has appointed Boston Realty Advisors as the exclusive leasing agent for retail space at 95 Mount Auburn Street in Cambridge, MA.
The property, a prominent 13,308-square-foot mixed-use building overlooking Winthrop Square, currently has 1,000 to 5,000 square feet of flexible retail space available. With a walk score of 99 and steps from Harvard University, the Red Line at Harvard Station, and an array of retail, dining, and cultural amenities, the location offers businesses a rare opportunity to establish a presence in the heart of one of New England’s most iconic commercial corridors.
“This class A property in Harvard Square is a prime location for businesses to take advantage of Harvard’s 20,000+ students and faculty, in addition to the thousands of tourists, alumni, and prospective students annually,” said Michael Wilcox, Managing Director of Leasing at Bulfinch. “We’re excited to continue our long-standing relationship with Boston Realty Advisors to bring forward-thinking tenants to this vibrant location.”
Boston Realty Advisors’ retail team, led by Whitney Gallivan, Managing Director and Partner, along with Joe Wagner, Managing Director, Gus Hoffman, Senior Associate, and Luke Sweeney, Associate, will work closely with Wilcox to market the available space. Known for their deep knowledge of the Boston-area retail landscape and expertise in high-visibility urban leasing, the team brings a strong track record to the assignment.
“This is an exciting opportunity for the right businesses to break into Harvard Square,” said Gallivan. “Location and visibility deliver unparalleled access to local foot traffic and exposure. The site is surrounded by internationally recognized institutions and is a rare chance to plant a flag in one of Greater Boston’s most iconic retail and business destinations.”
Situated just blocks from the Charles River and adjacent to the Charles Hotel, 95 Mount Auburn Street combines foot traffic, transit accessibility, and prestige. Retail tenants will benefit not only from Harvard University’s daily population but also from the square’s magnetic draw for tourists, business travelers, and event-goers year-round.
Bulfinch’s deep history in the Cambridge market is a critical asset for prospective tenants. With over five decades of ownership and management experience in Harvard Square, the firm has consistently delivered high-quality spaces that meet the evolving needs of both office and retail users. Their commitment to maintaining and enhancing the character of the square while supporting economic activity makes them a trusted landlord in the region.
The available spaces are being marketed as ideal for retail, lifestyle, or service concepts looking to establish a flagship or boutique location in one of the nation’s most recognized university-adjacent districts. Flexible floorplans and visibility from Mount Auburn Street and Winthrop Square give tenants a chance to tailor the space to their specific business models while benefiting from a constant stream of pedestrian activity.
