The Charles River Reservation (Speedway)-Upper Basin Headquarters (Speedway Headquarters) is located at the corner of Western Avenue and Soldiers Field Road in the Brighton neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. It is a complex of seven buildings designed by architect William D. Austin in the Shingle and Colonial Revival styles and built between 1899 and 1940. The site served as the headquarters of the State-managed Charles River Reservation and as horse stables for the Charles River Speedway, a harness and bicycle racing track along present-day Soldiers Field Road. The Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) owns the Speedway Headquarters and considers it to be one of its origin properties. Vacant since 2005, the property was redeveloped as a mixed-use commercial and cultural facility beginning in 2019 under DCR's Historic Curatorship Program by the Boston-based Architectural Heritage Foundation. The Speedway opened in 2021.

The Auerbach Center is the practice facility for the Boston Celtics in Boston, Massachusetts. Designed by Elkus Manfredi Architects, the 160,000-square-foot building is part of a larger mixed-use development being constructed by New Balance at Boston Landing that includes the headquarters of New Balance and that will also include shops, a hotel and the practice facility of the Boston Bruins directly next door. Named for the Celtics former president, general manager, and head coach Arnold "Red" Auerbach, the basketball practice facility is spread across the top two floors of The Auerbach Center and will include two parquet floor basketball courts. There is seating for 195 people overlooking the courts. The facility includes locker rooms, a players’ lounge, media space, strength and conditioning facilities, physical therapy areas with hydrotherapy pools, a sports science laboratory for Celtics' performance data collection, nutrition facilities, and a medical examination room containing GE Medical Imaging equipment. A 40-foot glass wall at The Auerbach Center facing the adjacent Massachusetts Turnpike allows visibility of the Celtics’ basketball practice facility. Public transit to the facility is via the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority Boston Landing station, a station on the MBTA Commuter Rail system's Framingham/Worcester Line. Groundbreaking took place in December 2014, with the completed facility hosting its grand opening on September 8, 2016. The Auerbach Center itself opened to the public on June 19, 2018.The Celtics' fellow tenants at the TD Garden when both are in their respective wintertime league seasons, the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League, have their own practice facility at Warrior Ice Arena, just east of the Auerbach Center, at 80 Guest Street.
