Taunton, MA Construction is now complete on a 180,000 s/f advanced manufacturing facility at the Business Park at Myles Standish, marking a major milestone in the continued transformation of the town’s industrial landscape. Developed by Rhino Capital Advisors LLC in partnership with the Taunton Development/MassDevelopment Corp., the facility is located on Lot BP2 of the newly expanded business park and is now ready for occupancy. 

Originally announced in 2024, the project was designed to attract tough tech tenants with features including a 32 ft. clear height, 8,000-amp power capacity, and five loading docks. The facility is expected to support hundreds of jobs and further strengthen the town’s reputation as a hub for innovation and advanced manufacturing. 

“We’re proud to be a part of this transformative project and to have delivered a high performance space that will meet the needs of forward-thinking companies,” said Dan Charest, partner and project executive at J. Calnan & Associates (JC&A). “The collaboration among Rhino Capital, MassDevelopment, and the City of Taunton was seamless. It’s exciting to see this facility open its doors and ready to fuel job growth and innovation for years to come.” 

The new facility is one of the final developments within the Myles Standish expansion, which began in 2012 through a public-private partnership between MassDevelopment and the Taunton Development Corp. (TDC) to redevelop the 220-acre former Paul A. Dever State School. Since then, the park has welcomed 11 new companies, resulting in over 1.6 million s/f of development, $158 million in private investment, 1,400 new jobs, and $3.2 million in annual tax revenue for the city. 

Rhino Capital Advisors managing principal Michael Olson said, “We are grateful to the MassDevelopment team and the Taunton Development Corp. for their ongoing support. With construction complete, we look forward to welcoming innovative companies to this space and contributing to the economic vitality of the region.”
