Elevate Your Building with Boston’s Quantum City Initiative

HqO has partnered with MIT to create the world’s smartest cities benchmark. The QCI is built on 10 years of data from HqO’s billion plus sq ft and over 40 years of research from MIT’s Center for Real Estate.

Together we’re indexing the entire built world, brick by brick, beam by beam, assessing every building on the grid.

Why Boston Needs Quantum Benchmarks

Boston’s leadership in biotech, tech, finance, and higher education relies on more than labs and lecture halls—it needs a commercial real estate backbone that’s as smart as it is stable. That’s why HqO, in partnership with MIT, launched the Quantum City Initiative (QCI) to:

  • Index Boston’s top 100 buildings on digital readiness and resilience
  • Compare against global “smart city” benchmarks from Tokyo to Toronto
  • Pinpoint opportunities to upgrade connectivity, IoT systems, and tenant tech services
  • Create a smarter more efficient city to live, work and eat

As part of Boston’s QCI Chapter we will be creating a council consisting of the top names in CRE and local government to drive meaningful impact on Boston’s future. This local council will collaborate with our other global councils at a series of exclusive events around the globe.

Your collaboration will help shape Boston’s future.

How Does the QCI Work?

The QCI relies on the most accurate property index in the world. This is where you come in and this is what you’ll get.

The HqO Property Assessment is the first of its kind—designed to measure and benchmark the full tenant experience, not just space or spend.

What You’ll Receive, Deep Insights, Local and Global:

  • A comprehensive QCI report with city-wide benchmarks, detailing how Boston stacks up globally.
  • Sub-market insights on amenities, systems, and tenant experiences, tailored to your property’s competitive edge.
  • A personalized consultation from HqO’s team to unlock your building’s potential.

As part of the QCI you’ll join our global community of commercial real estate leaders, have access to our newsletter, join exclusive events and the opportunity to join our travelling podcast to showcase your portfolio.
