Skanska has closed on a land investment with Simmons University and secured the development rights for a 158k sqm development, Longwood Place, in the Longwood Medical Area. The initial investment is USD 344 million, about SEK 3.7 billion. Payment for the land acquisition will be made successively up to 2026, by Skanska building and financing the Living and Learning Center for the client. The Longwood Medical Area (LMA) is a renowned hub of world-class hospitals, research institutions, and academic centers, offering cutting-edge medical advancements and collaborative healthcare expertise.

Longwood Place will be a transformative, sustainable, and innovative multi-phase development to include life science and research space, multifamily, office, community space, and a robust public realm - product types successfully developed by Skanska locally. In addition, this development will deliver much needed public amenities and green space to the LMA. Longwood Place activity will commence in late 2026 following Simmons relocation to their new Living and Learning Center, which Skanska is building beginning in May 2023.
