Implementing its plan to expand its Cambridge, Massachusetts footprint, Microsoft has signed a lease for 113,000 square feet of first-class office space at One Cambridge Center. Occupancy at the six-floor parcel is slated for late summer 2010.

The lease is part of the expansion of Microsoft’s New England Research & Development Center in Kendall Square. Cambridge Center’s owner and developer is Boston Properties, Inc.

“We’re delighted that Microsoft is expanding our presence here,” Microsoft New England Research & Development Center senior director Sara Spalding said. “We’re pleased to take this step toward our goal of creating a campus in Cambridge that can attract the best tech talent that this region has to offer and to further contribute to the region’s vibrant tech community.”

Jones Lang LaSalle senior vice presidents John Osten and Peter Bekarian, along with associate Molly Heath, negotiated the long-term lease for Microsoft. Boston Properties was represented by senior vice president David Provost and vice president Philip Dorman.
