**King Street’s Allston Labworks Adds Independent Bookseller to Tenant Roster**
King Street Properties has announced that independent bookseller Molly’s Bookstore will open its second location at Allston Labworks later this fall. This marks the fourth commercial lease at Allston Labworks, a mixed-use development in Allston, Massachusetts, designed to integrate life sciences, retail, and residential use along the rapidly developing Western Avenue corridor.
“Allston Labworks was always envisioned as a destination where innovation and community thrive side by side,” said Mike Diminico, Managing Director and Partner at King Street Properties. “Welcoming Molly’s Bookstore to the project reinforces our commitment to creating a dynamic neighborhood where culture and commerce enrich one another.”
The new location will retain the original store’s welcoming atmosphere and community-forward spirit, offering both new and used books, gifts, and educational items. Molly’s Bookstore also plans to host a variety of community gatherings, book-themed events, and programs for readers of all ages. This reflects King Street’s commitment to fostering local businesses and creating a vibrant retail experience within the development, which includes 20,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space across three buildings.
