BEVERLY, MA-A North Shore retail center in one of suburban Boston’s strongest consumer markets has retained KeyPoint Partners of Burlington as exclusive leasing agent. Commodore Plaza features more than 42,000 sf of first class space along Route 1A in Beverly, providing the center with a pipeline of shoppers from such posh bedroom communities as Hamilton-Wenham, Ipswich and Manchester-By-the-Sea.
“The demographics are very good,” concurs KeyPoint Partners vice president of leasing Donald Mace, who is being tapped to oversee the leasing assignment. Known as Enon Street in Beverly, Route 1A also provides direct access to Route 122A and major regional thoroughfare Route 128. The outcome has been a broad mix of tenants filling the space, with occupants including Beverly National Bank, the Dog Spa, Fantastic Sam’s, New England Running Co., Not Your Average Joe’s and Quiznos. One retailer, River’s Edge Trading Co., is a local operation that has fared well enough that the owner is contemplating another store south of Boston, says Mace, who cites the mix of unique stores and well-known national brands for making Commodore Plaza a “vibrant” retail draw.
