Bartholomew of R.W. Holmes handles 23,390 s/f industrial lease

Lancaster, MA R.W. Holmes has facilitated a new 23,390 s/f industrial lease. F&M Tool and Die, a highly experienced machine shop specializing in mold making, mold maintenance, and mold repair in central Massachusetts, has secured a lease for 851 Sterling Rd.

Representing the tenant in this transaction was Jim Bartholomew, vice president of R.W. Holmes.

In a strategic move to accommodate their expanding operations, F&M Tool and Die relocated from 25 Jytek Rd. in Leominster, Mass., to the new location. The long-term lease provides F&M with long-term space for its growing customer base.

“Despite a slight increase in vacancy rates, the Central Massachusetts industrial market remains highly competitive,” said Bartholomew. “We are delighted to have successfully identified a space of the perfect size and location for our valued client.”
