BioMed Realty, Global Arts Live and Takeda announced that the 45,000-square-foot performing arts center at BioMed’s 585 Kendall project in Cambridge, MA, scheduled to open in September 2026, will be known as The Platform. The main, 400-seat performance stage at The Platform will be named the Takeda Theater at The Platform, recognizing Takeda’s corporate sponsorship of the space.
“Since long before we broke ground at 585 Kendall, this has been a project for—and informed by—the Kendall Square community,” said Salvatore Zinno, SVP of development at BioMed Realty. “We are confident that our decision to enlist the expertise of Global Arts Live to establish and operate The Platform arts center will bring our local arts and science communities, neighbors and visitors alike, together to showcase and contribute to the artistry, innovation and ingenuity that defines the Canal District Kendall neighborhood.”
Takeda has leased 585 Kendall’s approximately 600,000-square-foot lab and office space that will be the home of Takeda’s Global Research & Development Center.
