Cohen and Byrne of Transwestern | RBJ represent Trillium Brewing Co. LLC in 16,000 s/f lease

Transwestern | RBJ represented Trillium Brewing Co. LLC in a new, 16,000 s/f lease at 110 Shawmut Rd. Senior vice presidents Brian Cohen and Rob Byrne represented the brewer in the flex space lease, which meets the client's need for additional production capacity. Headquartered in Boston's Fort Point neighborhood, Trillium began brewing in 2013 and quickly gained the attention of beer aficionados worldwide. Trillium currently has eight entries on BeerAdvocate.com's "Top 250 Beers" list, and the brewery also was named among the 2014 "Top 100 Brewers in the World" by RateBeer.com. The brewer began its search for additional space as demand outpaced production at its flagship location at 369 Congress St. Transwestern | RBJ worked closely with Trillium to conduct an extensive search for possible expansion locations. Taking into account suburban market accessibility, production functionality and zoning considerations, 110 Shawmut Rd. was identified as the ideal option. The Canton space will be the brewer's second location and will become its primary production hub. "We are thrilled to be launching the next phase of Trillium's operations with our expanded footprint in Canton," said Jean-Claude Tetreault, co-founder of Trillium Brewing. "Transwestern | RBJ has counseled Trillium on real estate matters since its inception. Starting with a strong understanding of our strategic and operational needs, their team helped us devise real estate strategies that support our near- and long-term business goals." "In addition to accessing the suburban market, the Canton facility offers Trillium an efficient and functional production floor that will allow it to deliver more product to market," said Cohen. "Trillium is an incredible Massachusetts growth story, and we are honored to be assisting the company as it scales its operations." The owner of 110 Shawmut Road, MFGCP 1 LLC, an affiliate of Grander Capital Partners, was represented in the lease by Catherine Minnerly and Ovar Osvold of NAI Hunneman.
