The listing broker for 295 Foster St. was Parsons Commercial and the landlord is Ferris Development. DCS is the first tenant to commit to the 295 Foster St. project that was acquired last fall by Ferris Development of Westborough, Mass. The first class office/R&D building totals 96,515 s/f and DCS has committed to 28% of the building located in Boston's hi-tech northwest corridor at the intersection of Rte. 2 and Rte. 495.
Nahigian has been working with The Ezra Co. and DCS to combine its five Mass. locations that are spread out between Waltham and Devens. This relocation allows the company to operate within closer perimeters of each other and allows for more efficient operations.
