This highly visible strip center is located on the heavy trafficked U.S. Rte. 1 in Saugus at the entrance to Home Depot. It is estimated that U.S. Rt. 1 sees traffic counts of 107,500 +/- vehicles per day, providing significant exposure to a large group of potential customers. U.S. Rt. 1 is part of an established super regional retail corridor featuring the Square One Mall and home to national tenants including Super Wal-Mart, Target, Dick's Sporting Goods, Barnes & Nobles, and Best Buy. The property benefits from the new Super Wal-Mart just south of the site which sends customers north past the center upon their exit from the supercenter.
