Description:
The Opportunity
21 Notre Dame Avenue presents an exceptionally rare opportunity to secure a 33,460 SF free-standing educational facility in the heart of Cambridge. Most recently operated as a charter elementary school, this expansive, multi-story building offers a blank canvas for a single-user educational, institutional, or municipal tenant. In a Cambridge market defined by severe inventory constraints for classroom and campus space, 21 Notre Dame provides the scale, location, and infrastructure to serve as a flagship private school campus, municipal swing space, or institutional training center.
Building Features & Infrastructure
The property features traditional, high-ceiling classroom configurations, wide corridors, administrative offices, and a dedicated outdoor play/recreation space. Uniquely for Cambridge, the site includes access to approximately 50 +/- on-site parking spaces, providing unparalleled convenience for faculty, staff, and student drop-off/pick-up logistics.
Customization & Code Compliance
The building is currently in "as-is" condition (non-sprinklered, limited-ADA compliant). Ownership is seeking a long-term, credit-grade single user and is highly flexible in structuring the transaction to accommodate necessary life-safety and accessibility upgrades. Ownership will consider providing an amortizing Tenant Improvement (TI) allowance to fund ADA compliance (including ramp/elevator installation) and sprinkler systems for a qualified tenant on a long-term lease, OR will offer highly aggressive, below-market base rent for an institutional user willing to execute their own capital improvements.
Location & Connectivity
Situated in a vibrant, densely populated North Cambridge neighborhood, the property is immediately accessible to major thoroughfares (Route 2, Alewife Brook Parkway) and is walkable to the MBTA Red Line (Alewife and Davis Square stations). The surrounding demographics offer a deep pool of students, faculty, and professional staff.
North Cambridge offers a perfect blend of urban convenience and historic charm, with a wide array of renowned dining, shopping, and cultural destinations just moments away. The campus benefits from easy access to tech hubs, academic institutions, and thriving business districts such as nearby Harvard Square, Porter Square, and Fresh Pond for abundant retail offerings, dining experiences, and picturesque outdoor spaces.
