Avison Young, the world's fastest-growing commercial real estate services firm, has leased 15,000 s/f of flex space at 30 Upton Rd. on behalf of landlord Albano Real Estate Trust to Rigaku Corp. (Rigaku). Rigaku, an international manufacturer and distributor of X-ray related technologies, relocated from New England Executive Park in Burlington, Mass. at the end of November.

Cresa represented Rigaku. With the completion of this transaction, 30 Upton Rd. is now fully leased. "With rents in Burlington rapidly increasing, companies that have flexibility with their location can achieve phenomenal savings with a relocation to a nearby market," said Kerrigan.
