blog

WOBURN, Mass. (October 20, 2017) – Agrivida, an agritech company focused on animal nutrition, has leased 20,000 square feet at Cummings Properties’ 78 Olympia Avenue location in Woburn.

Cummings Center marks 20th anniversary of Wall Street Journal feature

blog

BEVERLY, MA, October 2, 2017 — This autumn marks a milestone for Cummings Center, the 2 million-square-foot Beverly campus built on the site of the former United Shoe Machinery Corporation (USMC) complex. Twenty years ago, on October 2, 1997, the renovated Center was the subject of a Wall Street Journal feature story by Pulitzer Prize-winning architecture critic Ada Louise Huxtable, and was hailed as "the single most important and generally unrecognized concrete landmark in this country." “The Shoe,” as it was called by the generations of employees who worked there from 1899 to 1976, was once the largest concrete structure in the world.

Cummings Properties’ expansion guarantee has allowed NSIV to thrive without having to move to a different campus. The 12,000-square-foot buildout completed by Cummings Properties’ in-house construction team, includes a combination of office and meeting spaces. NSIV’s…
