“This fall will be an exciting time as CanalSide, a new food hall experience visitors are sure to love, will open as part of CambridgeSide’s redevelopment. CanalSide will offer delicious local food options and refreshing drinks in a beautiful new space offering indoor and outdoor seating areas at our waterfront location. We look forward to announcing additional dining and retail destinations in the coming months,” says Melissa LaVita, Regional Marketing Director for CambridgeSide.
CanalSide was designed by RODE, with construction by Whiting Turner and leasing by New England Development and District Real Estate Advisors. “We teamed with our partners at CambridgeSide to design a distinctive dining environment that builds upon the local natural landscape, reflecting the greenery of Canal Park and the waterfront,” says Ruthie Kuhlman, Senior Associate at RODE. “With a warm, contemporary design, the many eateries are arranged as a local market with a feature bar as focal point, and the design allows each brand’s unique character to enhance the richness of the experience. A variety of modern furniture options create distinct seating areas that extend outdoors, connecting to the beauty of Canal Park and the Charles River.”
