With the development of 8 and 22 Atwood Dr., we have provided custom-built quality spaces for tenants such as Cooley Dickinson Health Care Corp., Clinical & Support Options, Inc. and New England Dermatology. We look forward to satisfying the needs of additional regional and national clients as we turn to the next exciting phase of this development project.”
