VIVO refurbished 65 Hayden Avenue in Lexington, occupied for many years by Merck Pharmaceuticals, for multi-tenant use. Concert secured a 55,000 SF suite, and we ensured the property included a trove of laboratory spaces, suitable to be repurposed to serve Concert’s needs.
We designed a new H-2 chemistry lab, repurposed the science spaces, and created new offices and collaboration areas to accommodate present and future needs. We also ensured one contiguous space for their staff to foster both individual and team operations.
The new facility also offers Concert a conspicuous presence, with a dramatic atrium imparting a unique edge to the office building.

The newly refurbished building by VIVO, occupied for many years by Merck Pharmaceuticals has been recently upgraded for multi-tenant use and offered unique opportunities for Concert. Concert Pharmaceuticals uses patented technology to discover and develop innovative new medicines. Outgrowing their previous facilities at Longwood Center, Concert Therapeutics seized the opportunity to secure a 55,000 SF suite at 65 Hayden Avenue in Lexington MA.
Aside from remaining in the same neighborhood, the property offered a trove of laboratory spaces vacated by the previous tenant that could be repurposed to serve Concert’s science needs. With surgical precision, VIVO carved the space to insert a new H-2 Chemistry Lab, repurposed the science spaces, and created new offices and collaboration areas to accommodate present needs as well as future growth. For the first time in many years, all Concert staff occupies one contiguous space, facilitating their work process. The new facility also offers Concert a very visible presence, looking out on the dramatic atrium of the office building. With their long term space needs fulfilled, Concert employees are better served to concentrate their efforts to the development of their science, and remain a major player in the pharmaceutical industry
