Office furniture liquidation in Cambridge and Kendall Square
Corporate move-outs, consolidations and lease exits in Cambridge and Kendall Square, planned around the district's buildings and logistics, starting with a free walkthrough.
Clearing an office in Cambridge and Kendall Square
Kendall Square and East Cambridge sit across the Charles River from Boston, between MIT, Main Street, Broadway, Binney Street and the Longfellow Bridge, with more office space around Central Square and Harvard Square. Biotech and life science companies, software firms, venture capital and research groups tied to MIT and Harvard are the core tenants.
The district mixes newer office and lab towers in Kendall Square, such as One Kendall Square and 201 Broadway, with older mill buildings and converted industrial space in East Cambridge. Many buildings combine office floors with lab space, so clear-outs must separate furniture from lab casework, fume hoods and equipment, and docks are often shared with lab deliveries.
District snapshot: CBRE reported that East Cambridge had not posted a positive quarter of office absorption in 2026, losing 42,388 square feet in Q3 2026 as availability rose to 30.8%. Source

Planning a Cambridge and Kendall Square move-out
What experienced facilities teams account for in this district before the first desk comes apart.
- Walk the space before the move and tag furniture apart from lab benches, casework and research equipment, since lab items often belong to the landlord or need separate decommissioning.
- Reserve curb space through the city's moving van permit process well ahead of the move date, since Kendall Square streets have little open curb.
- Coordinate dock time with lab deliveries and hazardous material pickups, which take priority at many shared Kendall Square docks.
- Avoid MIT commencement and move-in weeks, when Main Street, Ames Street and Memorial Drive fill with traffic and closures.
- Send all computers and monitors to a certified recycler rather than the trash, since Massachusetts has banned cathode ray tube monitors from landfills and incinerators since 2000.
