CapyBara Energy signs 5,638 s/f lease at 86 Cummings Park

Woburn, MA CapyBara Energy has joined the area’s expanding cleantech community with a new 5,638 s/f R&D facility at 86 Cummings Park.

Founded in 2023, CapyBara Energy develops renewable energy storage solutions designed for durability and long-term reliability. Through its use of stable, readily available materials, the early-stage company aims to advance domestic production of grid-scale energy storage systems that deliver consistent, predictable performance.

“The existing infrastructure at 86 Cummings Park, along with the surrounding tough tech community, were key factors in CapyBara Energy’s decision,” said Steve Cusano, leasing director at Cummings Properties.

Cusano noted that the startup has already received support from the U.S. Department of Energy, Massachusetts Clean Energy Center, and Massachusetts Manufacturing Innovation Initiative. 

Cusano partnered with Burgess Properties president Steve Nohrden on the lease, which included a custom build-out. 

“Having in-house design and construction expertise allowed us to quickly equip the space with the specialized electrical capacity, ventilation, and plumbing systems the client required,” Cusano said. 

CapyBara Energy joins a roster of innovative firms within Cummings Properties’ cleantech cluster, including Active Surfaces, Boston Metal, Daqus Energy, Emvolon, Nanoramic Laboratories, Phoenix Tailings, SES, Type One Energy Group, VEIR, Verdox, ZwitterCo, and many other climate tech and energy companies.
