Duffy Fills 32,000 SF at Blanchard Woods

BURLINGTON — A surge of early 2012 activity at 80 Blanchard Rd. has resulted in more than 32,000 sf leased at the Class A office building that has benefitted from being in one of suburban Boston’s busiest office markets. The commitments came from three companies, with CBRE/NE Partners representing landlord Duffy Properties as exclusive agent for the two-story, 40,000-sf asset. The largest of the pacts is a 21,150-sf agreement by Bridgeline Digital, an award-winning web development company. Software engineering concern UFA Inc. executed a lease of 8,175 sf, while real estate consultant Lease Administration Solutions secured a 3,000-sf suite. CBRE/NE principal Mark Reardon advised Bridgeline Capital in its negotiations, whereas UFA Inc. was represented by Keith Coulter of McPherson Corp. “We are excited to accommodate the growing operations of these diverse tenants at 80 Blanchard Rd.,” says CBRE/NE principal Stephen Murphy, who was joined by Associate Alex Plaisted as brokers forDuffy Properties. Murphy says tenants were attracted to the building due to its proven landlord, prime location and highend mien. “Blanchard Woods offers an excellent corporate presence . . . in the strong and established Burlington submarket,” relays Murphy. Dating to 1980 but completely renovated in 2009, 80 Blanchard Rd. is part of the three-building Blanchard Woods mixed-use complex featuring in excess of 80,000 sf of lab, office and research space. CBRE/NE says marketing of Blanchard Woods has been assisted by a range of nearby amenities, including four hotels, 160 retailers and 10 full-service restaurants. The property has highway access at Exits 32 and 33, and is within five miles of I-93.
