Lease Boston office or research space
 

Why not locate your business in historic Woburn, Massachusetts (and perhaps your family, too)? Woburn is conveniently located at the commercial crossroads of New England, the junction of Interstates I-95 (Route 128) and I-93.

Woburn enjoys excellent accessibility and some of the most competitive commercial leasing values anywhere in New England. Direct MBTA bus service from West Cummings Park to and from downtown Boston, and train service via North Woburn's new Regional Transportation Center, as well as a host of hotels, restaurants, shopping centers, and entertainment facilities all combine for a most convenient locale. What a concept: less traffic, lower taxes, and more time at home! Click here for pictures of Cummings Properties' 40 large and very large low cost, ready-to-use rental buildings in Woburn, Cambridge and Boston, MA.

Lease your affordable office or lab facility just 10 miles north of downtown Boston and seven miles north of Cambridge. It's usually a shorter (faster) drive from Cummings Park in Woburn to the Massachusetts State House or to Logan International Airport, than it is to either of these places from the downtown Boston shopping area! This fine city of 38,000 people is centered in historic Middlesex County… the largest county in all America!

Founded in Woburn in 1970, Cummings Properties, LLC (CPL) has nearly a third of its 9 million square foot inventory in this historic city... once the rose-growing capital of the world.

Perhaps your business should be here too, or in one of the other nine northern suburbs where CPL serves a total of 1,920 office, executive office, and research firms. Cummings Properties offers hundreds of facilities for assembly and light manufacturing uses, and provides laboratory facilities to more clients than any other landlord in New England.

 

"Staying local" has resulted in Cummings Properties cultivating great in-depth knowledge of Boston’s north-suburban market. The unique proximity of most Cummings facilities to major highways affords businesses unparalleled visibility, easy access, and user-friendly business environments.

One of the company’s strongest assets has continued to be its ability to offer very competitively priced and desirable space to multitudes of fast growth companies. Tenant firms recognize that the very best opportunities for success lie along the busy Interstates 93 and 95. This is where the vast majority of all Cummings Properties facilities is located.

Continuing acquisitions have expanded the portfolio to include many of the area's finest properties, consisting of luxurious office space, wide bay assembly buildings, and major warehouse properties, as well as laboratories and research facilities of all sorts. The Cummings geographic base has expanded as well, to include a host of North Shore and Metrowest communities. Because the Company self-finances all of its construction and improvement projects, and because all construction is also done in-house, CPL will deliver on its promises.

On the residential side, Cummings has successfully developed upscale single-family subdivisions, luxury condominiums, and two major assisted living facilities. New Retirement retirement communities have affordable independent and assisted living for up to 480 residents near Boston.

Unusually, Cummings Properties also maintains its own 14-person in-house design team, including six registered architects and engineers. Altogether, there are 260 full-time staff on Cummings Properties’ year-round management, leasing, operations, and construction teams.

Cummings’ business strategy remains simple: provide the best value and highest degree of service to meet the business needs of almost 2,000 tenant firms of all sizes. While hundreds of CPL's larger tenants occupy facilities from 20,000 to 100,000 square feet (or more), the enterprise diligently serves hundreds of other firms with only a few hundred square feet each! MA commercial real estate brokers.

With such a vast inventory of fully built-out space, Cummings Properties has a constant upcoming availability of facilities from normal turnovers, even though it works very hard to retain all existing tenants. And when the "exactly right" space is not readily available from inventory, it can usually be built out easily within a matter of days, depending on client needs.

Of special interest to growing firms, Cummings’ leasing officers can usually include an Additional Space Guarantee in almost any lease, when requested by expansion-minded firms. The highly flexible nature of most Cummings facilities makes this a very valuable and important client option.

 

Additionally, in Woburn, MA, the Firm recently completed its newest signature complex - the 500,000 square foot TradeCenter 128! This stunning complex, complete with a 900 car parking garage, directly abut Route 128 (I-95) between Exits 38 and 39 in Woburn, directly facing the highway. The complex is a LEED building, precertified at the Gold Level.

This building has quickly become one of the very most prominent and distinctive structures anywhere along the entire length of Interstate 95, from Bangor to Miami! The company has invested a total of more than $52 million for new construction. Commercial real estate brokers in MA.

Contact the main Cummings Properties leasing office or founder Bill Cummings personally, at 781-935-8000, for specific information about any office, research, executive office, or other commercial need. Alternatively, contact Leasing Manager Eric Anderson, at the same number, or Steve Drohosky, general manager of Cummings Center in Beverly, at 978-922-9000, to inquire about space in that 2 million square foot complex.

Leasing office and research space

Identifying and obtaining office, research or production space is typically one of the most important decisions most firms make. Beyond the simple cost of the space itself, many even more serious considerations must never be overlooked. The most major of these is the satisfaction, morale, and productivity of the people who will occupy the facility.

With expected levels of clients turning over from time to time, there are always new units opening up every month. Consequently, the Company always has a fine selection of available spaces. All units are offered for lease strictly as illustrative of specific units which might or might not be still actually available, even when first viewed on this site. Rates are based on standard five-year terms, but shorter (and longer) terms can almost always be accommodated.

All offerings at all times are subject to the possibility of prior leasing to others. No lease is effective at any time prior to the full execution of the lease by both parties. Prices and availability are subject to change without notice.


 
Cummings Foundation

The large majority of all Cummings Properties' buildings, including all of Cummings Park and West Cummings Park in Woburn, have been donated to, and are operated for the benefit of, Cummings Foundation, Inc. (CFI). Founded in 1986, CFI is an operating foundation, which also owns and operates the not-for-profit New Horizons retirement communities in Massachusetts. Additionally, CFI owns Veterinary School at Tufts, LLC, which it operates in conjunction with Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University. All Cummings buildings in Burlington, Marlborough, Medford, Somerville, Stoneham, Sudbury, Wakefield and Wilmington are owned by the Foundation.

Cummings Properties provides a full-service lease, and closely manages its real estate so client firms can focus on their own business priorities.

In numerous comparisons among first class office, industrial, and R&D buildings along the Route 128 corridor, Cummings Properties facilities are consistently rated the best value. Annual base rents begin at only $7.70 per square foot per year on a triple net basis. And, knowing that most successful businesses tend to grow, Cummings Properties often guarantees in writing that it will provide additional space as needed, or allow cancellation of the lease without penalty.

Cummings Properties takes its tenant service responsibility most seriously, and has earned an enviable reputation. Backed by a 75-member office and professional staff, the organization often exceeds all expectations for both timely delivery of space and quality management thereafter.

Numerous representative spaces are shown elsewhere on this site on the Available Space page. These units are typical of Cummings Properties’ facilities throughout eastern Massachusetts.

Detailed space plans are available for all units listed under "Available Space." Cummings Properties’ four-page Standard Form Commercial Lease itself may be forwarded for easy inspection.
