Northeastern signs lease for 101 Belvidere St.
Northeastern University has signed a short-term lease for about 72,000 square feet of space at 101 Belvidere St. from the First Church of Christ, Scientist, the university and the church said today.
Northeastern said it will use the new space, which is near its main campus, for administrative purposes; the lease will enable the university to free up additional space on campus for classrooms and research.
Northeastern said it is scheduled to occupy the space it is leasing at Belvidere Street in August.
The church said that it announced its intention to offer short-team leases at both 101 Belvidere St. and 177 Huntington Ave. in April, and the church added today that 120,000 square feet of space at the Huntington Avenue building is still available.
The church said its long-term intentions for the buildings are part of ongoing review of its master plan that involves the city of Boston and community input.
