Newmark Knight Frank recently completed multiple transactions at 267 Boston Rd. The three lease extensions, and one lease extension and expansion speak to the success of the leasing program at the two building, 97,000 s/f industrial flex project, which has benefitted from extensive capital renovations.

Organized in 1972, Alex Brown Realty is a privately owned real estate investment manager headquartered in Baltimore, Md.

SI2 Technologies, Inc., a conformal and flexible electronic systems company, renewed and expanded its lease at 267 Boston Rd., securing 15,100 s/f of space. This space will serve as SI2 Technologies' headquarters. Alan Ringuette of The Stubblebine Co. represented SI2 Technologies in this transaction. "The efficiency of the single story building works very well for SI2's needs of combining office space with manufacturing space. We were glad to be able to help this company grow and we thank Alan Ringuette of The Stubblebine Co. for making this a very smooth transaction," said Thomson. M.S. Inserts and Fasteners Corp., a distributor of Aerospace and electronic fasteners, renewed its space consisting of 4,500 s/f at 267 Boston Rd. This space serves as the East Coast hub for MS Fasteners.
