Joel Aho of O'Brien Commercial Properties, Inc. represented the ownership in leasing 7,500 s/f of office, flex and warehouse space to Alternative Care Providers, Inc. at 275 Billerica Rd. The tenant first started in 1994 and supplies patients, caregivers and healthcare facilities in Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire with home with premier medical equipment, scooters and powered wheelchairs. Aho sold the building to the current owner in 2009, and with the most recent lease there is currently only one office suite still available in the building. The owner is constructing a new entrance for Alternative Care, and the remaining office suite will be updated with new paint, carpet, ceiling tiles and a new kitchen in addition to the recently completed lobby upgrade. The property is located a short distance from Rte. 3 and the junction of 495 and also offers retail type visibility on route 129.
