WOBURN, MA-Tucked into a corner at the juncture of Interstates 93 and 95, the four-building, 227,000-sf commercial complex just acquired here by Quincy Mutual Fire Insurance Co. offers plenty of future potential, acknowledges investment advisor Garlan Morse. But while visions of a glitzy office complex bearing superior accessibility and visibility could be easily conjured up for the site along Olympia Ave., the principal of Boston-based Morris & Morse says his client's $15.7 million investment reflects the property's past and present performance as an industrial center.

“The buildings have always leased well,” Morse tells GlobeSt.com in explaining the interest. “It's a place where people like to do business.” All four properties are virtually full today, he notes, and it was that loyal tenant base that inspired the buyers to doggedly pursue the park. For the time being, the new ownership is happy to keep the status quo. “All we really want to do right now is listen to the tenants and respond to their needs,” says Morse. “We appreciate their dedication and want to make sure it is the best property it can be for them.”
