Acquired by Combined Properties in 2019 and most recently occupied by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, 300 Mystic Ave. provides Garvin with a dynamic brick-and-mortar supply chain solution. The property is situated at the intersection of I-93 and Rte. 16. The property is five minutes north of Boston, Cambridge and Logan International Airport.
