Campanelli signs WorldStrides to 9,000 s/f at Heritage Landing

Campanelli, has signed a lease with WorldStrides at Heritage Landing for 9,000 s/f. In collaboration with Peter Brown, director of leasing at Campanelli, the Cushman & Wakefield suburban team of Mike Frisoli and Matt Morgan, with Cushman & Wakefield downtown brokers Dave Martel and Molly Davis, serve as the exclusive leasing agents for the property. The tenant was represented by DTZ associate vice president Colin Greenhalgh. The addition of WorldStrides to Heritage Two comes on the heels of State Street signing a long-term lease at Heritage One for 90,000 s/f. WorldStrides, one of the largest student educational travel organizations in the United States, will be relocating to Heritage Two from Boston's Fort Point Channel in September. "Seeing respected companies like WorldStrides migrate out of Boston proper to settle at Heritage Landing gives us a great amount of pride," said Dan DeMarco, a partner at Campanelli. "Our team has worked hard to create a workplace on the South Shore that is attractive to both established firms as well as up-and-comers with our amenities and competitive rental rates, and the roster of tenants who have signed at Heritage Landing is proof that we have done our job to create a vibrant, urban-style work community." Since purchasing Heritage Landing two years ago, Campanelli has transformed the campus into one of the fastest-leasing buildings south of Boston, signing more than 240,000 s/f to 15 tenants in a building that had previously been vacant for five years. Over 70% of tenants at Heritage Landing that have migrated from Boston. Its appealing amenities, proximity to the Hub and rental rates that are half of those in Downtown Boston have drawn many tenants from the city, including the Massachusetts Teacher's Association, which will be moving into its new 48,000 s/f home at Heritage Two this fall, and State St., who recently signed for 90,000 s/f lease at Heritage One. "We are very excited to be moving to the Heritage campus in North Quincy," said Tim Sweeney, WorldStrides' senior vice president of operations. "With Heritage's easy access to the 'T', amenities such as Sebastian's Café, and a great workout facility, it made the decision a no-brainer." Located directly off I-93 and Rte. 3A, Heritage Landing is a class A waterfront campus consisting of three office buildings totaling 518,882 s/f. The buildings are only seven miles from downtown Boston and are directly accessible via the MBTA Red Line "T". Campanelli has officially unveiled their multi-million dollar renovations; the brand-new amenity package includes a sleek new entrance, a full-service café featuring downtown eatery Sebastians, a high-end fitness facility and a modern conference center. The café also features the first-ever Micro-Mart in a multi-tenant suburban building which offers snacks, drinks and sandwiches that can be accessed via a tenant's FOB 24/7 with an automated pay station. This was created to cater to the young, innovative companies in the building that work off-hours. Currently, lobby renovations are underway at both Heritage Point and Heritage One.
