Colliers International leases 19,000 s/f to David Barton Gym in Boston
Continuing its steady expansion, David Barton Gym has signed a long-term, 19,000 s/f lease at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel & Towers. The fitness brand's new location, comprised of below grade retail space with a ground floor entrance, is its first in Massachusetts and will complement its existing locations in New York, Las Vegas, Miami, and Chicago.
"The Boston Park Plaza is currently undergoing significant upgrades and is located in the heart of the city, making this a prime location for the new facility," said Scott Edlitz, senior managing director for the retail services group at Colliers International's New York office, who represented David Barton Gym in the transaction.
Fairfield, CT Saugatuck Commercial Real Estate (SCRE) has secured two new prime retail locations for Kneads Bakery Cafe in Fairfield and Greenwich, CT. The multi-city expansion marks a major milestone in the long-term partnership between SCRE and the growing artisanal brand.
