Bret O'Brien of Greater Boston Commercial Properties represented the owner of 10 Liberty Way in a 55,023 s/f lease. O'Brien previously leased Taylor Exhibition Services, Inc. 37,536 s/f at 10 Liberty Way in 2009, and the 17,487 s/f balance of the building to iCandy Favors, LLC at the same time. The new deal with Taylor Exhibition commencing December 1st was an extension of the original lease that expired November 30th, as well as an expansion into the entire 55,023 s/f building. In order to accommodate this growth at the critical time of the anchor tenant's lease expiration, O'Brien negotiated an early termination of the iCandy's lease, which had five years remaining.

This location provides the company a Northeast hub with 9,000 s/f of office space, and the balance of the building is warehouse and production space. 10 Liberty Way is located in The Franklin Industrial Park off Rte. 495 at Exit 16.
