As one of the first technology parks in the United States, Northwest Park was established over the course of sixty years and has evolved into one of the most dynamic mixed-use environments in the greater Boston area. Significant investments are currently being made to provide facilities and amenities most desired by today’s companies. Notably, Northwest Park has recently been rezoned to 3,200,000 SF for the development of a pedestrian-friendly, amenity-rich, vibrant mixed-use environment including 3rd Ave, the dining and entertainment heart of Burlington which features five independent restaurants, six distinctive home stores, and many other unique shops.
Hood Business Park

This asset is unique in the market and continues to enjoy superior occupancy levels.
Blue Sky Center

The range of tenancies reflect its capabilities with the headquarters for software, life sciences, social networking and other technology.
Avid
Following an East Coast location search and a delayed lease signing, the Nordblom/Avid team implemented an accelerated schedule to complete the project in less than six months. The project included the installation of a new supplemental chilled water system with an associated 500-ton cooling plant, as well as an elevated pedestrian bridge connecting two existing office buildings. This transaction represented the largest suburban Boston office lease of 2009, and was recognized by the Massachusetts Commercial Brokerage Association, which also presented Nordblom Company with its prestigious Landlord of the Year award.
