The pilgrimage to Boston continues as Cambridge tightens; InsightSquared and Architectural Resources will soon call Back Bay home.

The BBJ notes, “Business analytics firm InsightSquared, which just last spring moved into expanded office spaces at 160 Second St., this September will move to a 45,000-square-foot office at 4 Copley Place. The office spans two floors and is almost triple the size of Insight Squared’s 16,000-square-foot Kendall Square location…The expansion is driven by InsightSquared’s growing customer count and revenue, a company representative said. The office will also accommodate the firm’s growing employee base, which has doubled to more than 150 in the past year.”

The torch gets passed to Kendall Square with office rents in Cambridge skyrocketing, and one market expected to climb even higher. Kendall is the spot to be for blue chip tech companies, but why – is it the view of the Boston Skyline? No, simply put it’s Harvard and MIT that are the attraction. Companies want to attract top talent and want to associate with these prestigious institutions any way they can.

Banker and Tradesman is reporting “building owners in the lab- and office-packed Cambridge neighborhood [of Kendall Square] are quoting $80 a square foot for prime space…[while] the vacancy rate for office space in the Cambridge neighborhood is a practically air-tight 0.6 percent.”

More information on the demand trends of Kendall Square office space is available on B&T’s website.

Zagster is calling Kendall Square its new home after vacating Philadelphia. Zagster is one of the nation’s oldest bike sharing companies whose goal is to ensure shared or rentable bikes are easily and cost-effectively made available to businesses, universities, and property-management companies that desire to embrace the numerous benefits of biking.

The Harvard Crimson explains the impact of the former Philadelphia-based company’s move to the Cambridge neighborhood, noting, “with [its] new offices less than a mile from the pioneering car sharing company Zipcar, Zagster’s arrival earlier this year has continued to develop Cambridge as a center of sustainable urban living.”
