2 HarborFuture-Proofing
2 Harbor Street in the Seaport district of Boston is a cutting edge life science building that has been designed with sustainability and resilience in mind.
2 Harbor’s dynamic life science campus features distinctive architecture, world-class R&D facilities, welcoming open space, and wellness-infused amenities – harnessing the character of the Seaport to create a stimulating, tech-forward workplace where daring breakthroughs can unfold.
The property was developed with sustainability and resilience for the future in mind. The lobby level is set above Boston’s 2070 flood elevation plane and has sloped ground level green areas to mitigate flooding, promote rainwater absorption, and create a natural barrier from the street to the entry way. The light-colored pavement, façade, and white membrane roof reduce the potential heat island effect in the harborside Seaport neighborhood.
2 Harbor boasts 24,207 KwH of rooftop solar panels, in addition to efficient HVAC, lighting, and a Demand Response program.
