WALTHAM, MA — Yesterday, Boston Dynamics announced plans to transform a 323,000 square foot facility in Waltham into an advanced robotics and AI center. The company will invest $100 million in the project and anticipates creating 1,250 new jobs by 2033.

The company received a $25 million Economic Development Incentive Program award to fund renovation and buildout projects tied to manufacturing, workforce training and operations for the company’s Atlas, Spot and Stretch platforms.

The facility is located at 1601 Trapelo Road (Reservoir Place), near the company’s existing headquarters and approximately 12 miles outside Boston.

The new building will consolidate operations currently housed at three nearby locations and expand its capabilities in advanced manufacturing, artificial intelligence, workforce training and research and development.

Boston Dynamics expects to move into the new facility in phases beginning in mid-2027. The project is being developed in partnership with BXP, which has owned the property since 1998.
