Totaling 46,276 s/f, 240 Elm St. is presently 100% leased to a first-class tenant roster anchored by bfresh, an urban grocery concept by Stop & Shop parent company Ahold, and Spaces, a modern office sharing concept by global flexible workspace provider Regus.

Situated at the intersection of Elm St., Davis Square’s primary retail corridor, and Chester St., 240 Elm St. benefits from high visibility within a heavily traveled shopping, dining and entertainment destination.
