Hackman Capital and Calare Properties acquired the former Evergreen Solar Plant at 112 Barnum Rd. The plant is a 448,000 s/f manufacturing facility situated on 25 acres. The facility was constructed by Evergreen Solar in 2010.
"We are thrilled to acquire this property as we continue to build our presence in the Greater Boston Area, and we look forward to finding tenants for the building and adding to jobs in the area" said Michael Hackman, Hackman Capital's founder and CEO. According to Hackman, the Evergreen acquisition took several months due to Evergreen's complicated bankruptcy.
The Evergreen facility is located in the Barnum Business Park, which is 4 miles west of Rte. 495 and 2 miles north of Rte. 2. The Barnum Business Park is a 4,400-acre master-planned business park.
Its proximity to highways allows it access to major New England destinations such as Worcester County, downtown Boston, and Hartford.
The design, quality and magnitude of the infrastructure are unmatched within New England. Recent construction on the property included the addition of special features including emergency diesel generators, an air compressor system, internal waste water treatment, chemical bunkers and distribution systems, air abatement systems, water cooling systems, and gas distributions systems.
