In 2016 the Cambridge Redevelopment Authority designated KS Foundry Development Partners LLC, a joint-venture between Graffito SP and the Cambridge Innovation Center, as the City’s partner for the revitalization of the City-owned Foundry Building in East Cambridge. Following a three-year public procurement process and over a year of direct work between CIC/Graffito and the City, the CRA Board terminated CIC/Graffito’s designation in 2017. Today the Foundry remains a work in progress, with the Lemelson-MIT Program as the new developer, yet much of CIC/Graffito’s 2016 plan remains part of the project and development vision.
