Nordblom Company to build new facility for DCU and sold a site to the Primrose School of Burlington

Nordblom Company is building a new facility for Digital Federal Credit Union (DCU) and sold a site to the Primrose School of Burlington. Both will be located on Greenleaf Way, which is across Middlesex Tpke. from Network Dr. Both facilities are under construction and plan to open this winter, and will add to the growing mix of amenities available to office tenants in the area. "We chose Burlington because it is the hub of activity in the Boston area for professionals who are seeking high quality products and services including the highest quality educational childcare. With Northwest Park, 3rd Ave., Network Dr. and numerous new headquartered companies moving into Burlington, we feel this is the best place for Primrose Schools to build our N.E. flagship school," said Curt Van Emon, owner of Primrose School. Primrose School will offer Primrose's exclusive, standards-based Balanced Learning system, which supports children's social-emotional, cognitive, creative and physical development. The school will be equipped with 14 classrooms, state-of-the-art technology, 4 large age-appropriate playgrounds and a Primrose Patch garden. It will be able to serve 189 children ages six weeks to five years old, along with a before and after school program with transportation to and from public school for children up to age 12. The school is expected to open in early 2014 and is now accepting pre-enrollments. "We are truly excited about DCU's relocation to a more prominent location on the Middlesex Turnpike and our continued commitment to play a vital role in the greater Burlington community by assisting residents with their financial needs, as well as making an ongoing difference in the community through our charitable and educational initiatives," said John LaHair, DCU's public relations manager. DCU's newly built 4,500 s/f branch will offer a full-compliment of financial services including offices for opening accounts, taking loan and mortgage applications, commercial lending, real estate, investment and financial planning. Additionally, the location will offer new amenities such as iPad banking stations, a self-service coin counting machine, a full-service drive up, a drive-up ATM, and a business night depository.
