MassChallenge Leaves Seaport for New Fenway Headquarters
October 30, 2026
BOSTON — MassChallenge has signed on for new headquarters space at 401 Park Drive, relocating its global headquarters from Boston’s Seaport to Alexandria Real Estate Equities’ Fenway campus.
The move places the startup accelerator within Alexandria’s growing innovation cluster, which is home to life science, technology, and research-focused organizations. Founded in Boston in 2009, MassChallenge has maintained a longstanding presence in the Seaport, operating from locations including One Marina Park Drive, the Innovation and Design Building and, most recently, 10 Fan Pier Blvd.
The organization said the new headquarters will serve as a hub for founders, investors, corporate partners and industry leaders while also offering workspace opportunities for select entrepreneurs building companies in Greater Boston.
“When I think about MassChallenge’s history in the Seaport, I see a mission accomplished,” said Robby Bitting, chief of staff at MassChallenge. “Now we’re bringing that same commitment to Fenway. We believe deeply in what’s being built here and take pride in our responsibility to help it grow.”
The relocation adds another prominent innovation-focused organization to Alexandria’s Fenway holdings, where the REIT has continued to expand its footprint around research, life science, and technology tenants.
The transaction was facilitated with assistance from Ryan Hurd of Cushman & Wakefield, who helped MassChallenge secure its new headquarters space.
