Flex Space Remains Strong; Office Sputters Along Route 495 North

CHELMSFORD, MA-More than 350,000 sf of space has gone on the market here on Route 495 North recently, but while the flex space is seeing some activity, the pure office space has engendered little interest.

Sycamore Networks recently put 45,000 sf of space up here at 10 Elizabeth Way, while Catalogue Ventures left 50,000 sf at 12 Elizabeth. According to Brian McKenzie, a partner at Richards Barry Joyce & Partners, Sycamore downsized and consolidated its operations while Catalogue relocated its office.

Axsys left 10,000 sf at 27 Industrial Ave. when it relocated its office. These three properties, all single-story flex buildings owned by Altid Enterprises, “are seeing some decent level of activity now,” McKenzie tells GlobeSt.com. “We see some pending deals down the road.” McKenzie is representing Altid along with John Wilson, also a partner at the firm.
