Cummings adds two new tenants at Bedford Woods - 6,770 s/f in leases

Bedford Woods - Bedford, MA

Bedford, MA Two growing service providers have signed leases at Bedford Woods, continuing the rapid transformation of the formerly vacant property. Integrated Behavioral Care and Bedford Family Law will soon open new locations at 174 Middlesex Tpke.

Founded in 2023, Integrated Behavioral Care provides outpatient mental healthcare, including medication management, neuropsychological testing, and counseling for individuals, couples, families, and children. The Bedford facility joins existing clinics in Amesbury, Andover, and Beverly’s Cummings Center. The practice also provides telehealth services throughout Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

Cummings Properties senior leasing director Mike Truesdale worked with leadership from Integrated Behavioral Care on the 4,500 s/f lease. According to Truesdale, the space is undergoing an extensive buildout that includes modern finishes and enhanced sound attenuation to support a comfortable clinical environment.

Bedford Family Law will relocate this fall, expanding from 133 Great Rd. to a 2,270 s/f suite at 174 Middlesex Tpke. Founded in 2016, the boutique women-owned firm specializes in family law and estate matters through mediation, collaborative law, and litigation.

“The variety of industries already choosing to call Bedford Woods home speaks to the property’s broad appeal,” said Cummings leasing director Steve Cusano, who worked with Bedford Family Law to execute its new lease. “Businesses are taking advantage of a rare opportunity to lease newly upgraded class A space in one of greater Boston’s most accessible commercial corridors.”

Bedford Woods includes 330,000 s/f of Class-A office and research space across two interconnected buildings at 174 and 176 Middlesex Tpke. Developed in 2001, the heavily wooded campus offers direct on-site MBTA bus service and convenient access to Rte. 3, I-95, and nearby amenities, including restaurants and Burlington Mall.

The campus previously served as the longtime headquarters for cybersecurity firm RSA and was sold in 2012 for more than $93 million. After RSA relocated in 2020, both buildings remained empty until Cummings Properties purchased the campus at public auction in January 2026 for a small fraction of its previous valuation.

Since acquiring Bedford Woods, Cummings has undertaken a comprehensive renovation, updating flooring, finishes, common areas, and entryways throughout the campus while constructing more than 23,000 s/f of customized space for its first five leasing clients. Almost all of the original interior finishes in both buildings were removed by the former property owners several years ago.

Integrated Behavioral Care and Bedford Family Law join Affinity Group Food Service NE, Terry Hanley Audio Systems, and Genn Energy among the first businesses to establish operations at Bedford Woods following its redevelopment.

Cummings Properties manages 11 million s/f across 12 eastern Massachusetts communities, including Woburn, where it is based. Its diverse portfolio includes technical, retail, and traditional office space as well as hundreds of health and wellness facilities, spread across primarily large, multi-tenant commercial buildings that together accommodate nearly 2,000 client firms.

This may seem self-serving, and I’ll be the first to admit it. But unlike some of the artificial intelligence tools now reshaping our industry, I am fully aware of my own bias. So, hear me out. The rise of AI in commercial real estate is not a distant threat or a speculative headline.
