Westford, MA The Wilder Companies, the national retail real estate leasing, management and development firm, was awarded the leasing and management contract for Westford Valley Marketplace. The contract was awarded by the U.S. real estate business of UBS Asset Management.

Westford Valley Marketplace is a 142,100 s/f open-air center that recently added a 43,000 s/f Whole Foods Market. Local response has been overwhelming.  Wilder plans to build on the momentum of Whole Foods by undertaking a major rebranding, renovation, and remerchandising effort for the balance of the center. Existing tenants include JoAnn Fabric, CVS, Olympia Sports, The Paper Store, and Starbucks.

The center is located off I-495 in the northwest portion of the Boston trade area.

“We are pleased to add Westford Valley Marketplace to our portfolio of leased and managed centers,” said Tom Wilder, a company principal.  We look forward to building on the addition of Whole Foods Market to enhance the consumer experience and the value for our client.” 

Westford Valley Marketplace is the third center that UBS has asked Wilder to manage.  Others include The Source, a 250,000 s/f center in White Plains, N.Y. and Wayside, a 200,000 s/f open-air center in Burlington Mass.
