One Kendall Square was David Clem's first adaptive re-use project in East Cambridge. In the mid 1980s, David Clem and his partners in The Athenaeum Group designed and developed this complex of twelve industrial buildings, setting the standard for mixed-use science parks. This project helped revitalize Kendall Square and set the tone for many of Lyme Properties’ future developments.
