The Charles River Speedway Complex is in the Brighton neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. Dating from the 1890’s, the site was offered for development through the DCR’s Historic Curatorship Program. The development team’s proposal involved a full rehabilitation of the buildings and landscape. Critical to the use of the site is the central courtyard which supports the tenant businesses including one of the anchor tenants Notch Brewing, a local craft brewer. The courtyard helps expand function space while also being accessible to the public as a neighborhood open space.

In partnership with Bruner Cott, KMDG was brought on as one of the lead consultants from the start of the project to support programming and conceptual design of the Speedway. Construction was completed in the summer of 2021.
