Who we are

The Cambridge Redevelopment Authority (the "CRA") is committed to implementing creative development projects and initiatives that promote social equity and environmental sustainability. As a real estate entity that works in the public interest, we offer distinctive public investment tools and a human dimension to our projects and partnerships throughout the city.

Developer

The CRA was formed in 1956 and has a long history advancing a wide range of projects and programs. Over its history, the CRA has adopted five urban renewal plans, implemented one demonstration plan, executed numerous developments and renovations, and conducted planning studies throughout the City of Cambridge. Currently, the CRA continues to implement one ongoing redevelopment plan in Kendall Square, now focused on the sub-station project north of Broadway. It manages two mission-oriented commercial buildings and multiple park spaces in Kendall Square. Please reference the catalogue of annual reports to follow the work of the CRA through the years.
