BOSTON— Amenta Emma Architects has expanded its Boston operations with a move to new offices at 285 Summer Street, Suite 200, in the city’s Fort Point neighborhood.
The expansion supports the firm’s continued growth and an increasing portfolio of work across New England. According to the firm, the new space provides capacity for additional staff and resources to accommodate larger, more complex projects in housing, higher education, and workplace design.
“Boston continues to be a powerful driver in our firm’s growth,” said Michael Tyre, President of Amenta Emma. “Clients here have helped us build a reputation for design leadership that combines innovation with purpose, and this expansion will assure that continues well into the future.”
Amenta Emma has maintained a presence in Boston for more than a decade. Under the leadership of Principal Eric Weyant, the firm has recently increased its regional workload, particularly in multifamily housing and academic projects. Current work includes several multifamily developments expected to deliver more than 1,000 new housing units, as well as new projects at MIT, Boston University, and Dartmouth College.
“There’s enormous demand across the region for thoughtful housing and community development,” said Weyant. “We’re working on projects that are knitting together neighborhoods and towns and responding to regional needs while raising the bar for design.”
The Boston expansion coincides with new hiring across the firm, as Amenta Emma adds emerging and senior designers to its growing team. The firm attributes the growth to a robust project pipeline and the city’s appeal as a hub for design talent.
Founded in Connecticut in 1985, Amenta Emma has grown steadily over four decades, building a diverse portfolio that spans housing, healthcare, education, workplace, and civic design. The firm has earned multiple honors, including AIA awards, recognition as a 2025 Emerging Professional Friendly Firm, WELL Equity certification, and inclusion on the 2025 Real Leaders® Top Impact Companies list. Its recent Jefferson House Hitchcock Wing renovation received a national AIA design award for excellence in environments promoting health and dignity for older adults.
