The Bulfinch Companies, Inc. is a national real estate firm headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts.

History

Bulfinch was founded in 1936 by Samuel W. Poorvu, a Lithuanian immigrant who began his career as a bricklayer and soon started a small company in Boston building and developing Post Offices. Poorvu [1] was dubbed "The Post Office King of America" by the Wall Street Journal for his role in developing over 100 postal facilities nationwide for the United States Postal Service.[2] Bulfinch is owned and has been continuously operated by the Schlager family.[3] Since inception, Bulfinch has "developed, acquired, and re-positioned in excess of $1.8 billion in commercial real estate assets." Bulfinch owns over 3.5 million square feet of property, primarily centered in New England. Bulfinch is currently in its third generation of management.[4]

Awards

Bulfinch was awarded the "Distinguished Real Estate Award" by the National Association of Industrial & Office Properties in 2007.[5] Bullfinch has also been awarded commendations by the Mayor of Cambridge, Massachusetts.[6] The City of Cambridge, Massachusetts awarded Bulfinch the Certificate of Preservation Merit.[7] Bullfinch received LEED Gold Certifications by the USGBC.[8] Several Bulfinch properties have earned the United States Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star certification. Banker & Tradesman has identified several Bulfinch sites as "Hot Properties".[9] The American Council of Engineering awarded Bulfinch a silver award for Cambridge Discovery Park in 2008.[10] Bulfinch received recognition at the 2011

GoGreen Awards for "their work in reducing storm water runoff and improving water quality".[11]

Acquisitions

Lifetime Center

In July 2012, Bulfinch acquired the 300,000 square foot Atrium Mall in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts from Simon Property Group, with plans to re-position it as a mixed-use medical office property, partially demolishing it, and then rebuilding and renovating it.[12][13] The Lifetime Center reopened in Fall 2017 with Lifetime Fitness and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute as anchor stores.[14]

The Harvard Square Post Office

Samuel Poorvu originally developed the Harvard Square United States Post Office located in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1954.[15] This facility was redeveloped in 2000 by Bulfinch.[16]

The Polaroid Building

The building was the "first modern industrial structure in Cambridge, Massachusetts" and was designed by Shepley Bulfinch in 1938 for B and B Chemical Company.[17] The building was acquired by Polaroid Corporation and was used as their corporate headquarters for some time. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1982.[18] Bulfinch acquired the property in 2000.[19][20]

Cambridge Discovery Park

Cambridge Discovery Park is located on the site of the former Arthur D. Little Company headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It is an 820,000 SF master-planned development with multiple LEED certified buildings.[21] It is home to Forrester Research world headquarters and the Harvard-Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory.[22][23] Siemens AG also leases space in the property.[24]
