Malden, MA Combined Properties, Inc. has entered into a long-term ground lease with CVS/pharmacy for a 1.25 acre site located at the intersection of Rte. 60 and Ferry St. in the central business district.

CVS/pharmacy took possession of the site in June and has commenced construction of an 11,800 s/f store which will feature all of the high -quality products and services CVS customers have come to expect, including a full service pharmacy staffed by highly-trained pharmacists and knowledgeable pharmacy support staff, convenient drive-thru pharmacy service, an extensive selection of health, beauty and personal care products, general merchandise and a digital photo center. CVS/pharmacy is scheduled to open its new store by the end of the fourth quarter.
