Cummings Properties Revenue and Competitors

Cummings Properties is among the state\'s most aggressive commercial real estate firms in attracting biotech and other major research facilities.

Altogether they serve more than 1,920 different client businesses, with a total of more than eight million square feet of first class commercial space.

Pulitzer Prize-winning architecture critic Ada Louise Huxtable has written many times about Cummings Center, beginning more than 40 years ago in The New York Times, and in her books, ARCHITECTURE ANYONE? and THE MALLING OF AMERICA. Most recently she wrote of the restoration work by Cummings Properties: \"For those who prize architecture still invisible to many and treated as expendable by most, this [Cummings\' restoration] is more than a success story; it is a dream come true,\" she wrote in her October 2, 1997 feature story about Cummings Center in The Wall Street Journal.
