Azima DLI moves HQ to TradeCenter 128

Azima DLI has relocated its headquarters from 400 West Cummings Park to more than 4,000 s/f at 300 TradeCenter 128. Both buildings are leased and managed by Cummings Properties, LLC. Azima DLI assists companies in nearly every industry including industrial gas, manufacturing, marine, military, oil and gas, power generation/utilities and steel in implementing high quality, sustainable condition monitoring programs. Its flagship Watchman Reliability Services reportedly improves equipment uptime and plant effectiveness by combining the industry's most advanced and reliable analytical software with remote monitoring capabilities. This propriety system allows Azima DLI to deliver solutions ranging from subscription-based vibration analysis to advanced on-site technical assistance. Azima DLI has offices across the U.S. and international representation in Asia-Pacific, Central America, Europe and South America. The company began as Azima Holdings, Inc., which in September 2008 acquired Washington state-based DLI Engineering, a pioneer in vibration-based condition analysis. The combined entity, Azima DLI, is a market leader in predictive machine maintenance and provides services to two of the condition monitoring industry's largest customers, Air Liquide and the U.S. Navy. Many Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 industrial companies also reportedly employ Azima DLI as a reliability partner. Burt Hurlock, CEO of Azima DLI, said, "We were looking for a more efficient use of office space for our headquarters, along with an enhanced layout and an upgrade. At TradeCenter 128, we started with a blank slate, a terrific new space and great visibility. We especially appreciate the energy-efficient design and construction that reduces utility consumption and conserves natural resources." Cummings Properties' associate property manager, Lelani Loder, who worked with Hurlock on the relocation, noted that both the design and construction teams at the property management firm played important roles in helping to retain Azima DLI. "Our designers worked closely with Burt and his colleagues to create a superb layout that would allow for collaboration as well as private work space. Since our construction team completed the buildout very quickly, Burt and his team were able to move in and take advantage of the first-class building and amenities earlier than anticipated," Loder explained. She represented Cummings Properties in the lease negotiations while Azima DLI represented itself. Loder noted that other international companies located at TradeCenter 128 include BCD Travel, Soka Gakkai International, Montpelier Technical Resources Ltd., Asahi Kasei Medical, WSP Environment and Energy LLC, Keyence Corporation and Hurley Corporation. The LEED pre-certified Gold TradeCenter 128 is only 11 miles from Boston and Logan International Airport. It is conveniently located near the intersection of I-95/Route 128 and I-93 and the Anderson MBTA station with Logan Express service. On-site amenities include a covered, free parking garage, MBTA service, dining, banking and daycare as well as adjacent shopping and hotel options. Woburn-based developer Cummings Properties has earned a long-standing reputation for operational and service excellence. Its vertically integrated design/build delivery method allows the company to construct first-class space typically in half the time and at half the cost of similar space in Boston or Cambridge. The firm leases and manages nearly 10 million square feet of prime space in 10 communities around Boston.

Investing in a falling rate environment - by Harrison Klein

Long-term interest rates have fallen by 100 basis points, and the market is normalizing. In December of 2022 I wrote an article about investing in a high interest rate, high inflation market. Since then, inflation has cooled off, and the Fed has begun lowering their funds rate.

The industrial markets have never been stronger. What has happened is that the build out of Devens with new high-tech biotech manufacturing with housing to service these buildings serves as the connector required to really make the I-495 West market sizzle. Worcester has been the beneficiary
