menta Emma Architects has broadened its Boston footprint by relocating to a new space at 285 Summer Street, Suite 200, in the Fort Point district. The move is part of the firm’s ongoing expansion and a response to a growing roster of projects across New England. The new office will house additional staff and resources, enabling the firm to tackle larger, more intricate designs in housing, higher‑education, and workplace environments.

    “Boston remains a key engine for our growth,” said President Michael Tyre. “Clients here have helped us establish a reputation for design leadership that blends innovation with purpose, and this expansion will sustain that momentum for years to come.”

    With a Boston presence that spans more than a decade, Amenta Emma—led by Principal Eric Weyant—has recently amplified its regional output, especially in multifamily housing and academic facilities. Current work includes several developments slated to add over 1,000 units, as well as new projects at MIT, Boston University, and Dartmouth College. “There’s a huge demand for thoughtful housing and community development across the region,” Weyant noted. “We’re crafting projects that knit neighborhoods together, meet local needs, and elevate design standards.”

    The expansion aligns with fresh hires across the firm, bringing both emerging and senior designers into the growing team. Amenta Emma attributes its growth to a robust project pipeline and Boston’s status as a magnet for design talent.

    Founded in Connecticut in 1985, the firm has steadily built a diverse portfolio covering housing, healthcare, education, workplace, and civic design. It has earned numerous accolades, including AIA awards, designation as a 2025 Emerging Professional Friendly Firm, WELL Equity certification, and placement on the 2025 Real Leaders® Top Impact Companies list. Its recent Jefferson House Hitchcock Wing renovation received a national AIA award for excellence in environments that promote health and dignity for older adults.
