VERTEX’s Jaron Frieden and Frank Calandra were in attendance alongside many others who were involved in the development of the property.

During the event, Ms. Adelaide Grady, Wood Partners Director of Development Boston stated, “The team at 22 Water Street in Cambridge has been wonderful to work with and we are so proud of this development and furthering the revitalization in Cambridge. VERTEX has been an integral part of the success of this project due to their exceptional expertise, can do attitude and constant sense of urgency.”
