WILMINGTON, MA-Despite a difficult quarter for the Route 128 North industrial submarket, one building here has enjoyed a slew of leasing to help close out 2007 on a positive note. Thanks to nearly 110,000 sf of space commitments by four tenants, 1 Burlington Ave. is now at full occupancy.

Saccos headlines the activity at the landmark distribution facility just north of the juncture of Route 128 and Interstate 93, with the firm securing 36,000 sf. Trainor Trucking is leasing 32,000 sf, while RMA Fitness and Wynco are each taking 20,000 sf. Landlord GFI Partners and all tenants except Trainor were represented by David, James and Micah Stubblebine and Ellen Garthoff of the Stubblebine Co.
