Marcus Partners signs industrial outdoor storage and build-to-suit deal in Myles Standish Park

Taunton, MA Marcus Partners negotiated an industrial outdoor storage (IOS) and ground-up, build-to-suit deal with a large utility provider at 425 John Quincy Adams in Myles Standish Park. This will be the firm’s second office teardown to industrial change-of-use project in the park. The project is expected to deliver in late 2025.

“We are seeing demand from users who want IOS with quality ancillary facilities in prime locations,” said Josh Berman, principal, head of construction at Marcus Partners. “The current market demands strategic thinking and creative approaches to change-of-use opportunities in order to maximize underutilized sites.”

The property was formerly home to a 95,000 s/f office building and is comprised of two adjacent parcels: a 4.4-acre industrial development site (office teardown) and a three-acre IOS site. The lease with the user includes 4.4 acres improved by a ground-up 40,000 s/f ancillary flex building and three acres of industrial outdoor storage (IOS).
