Wilmington, MA The Davis Companies (Davis) has entered into a lease agreement with a global medical device company as the first anchor tenant at Upton Crossing, a newly developed industrial campus located at 38 Upton Dr. The confidential medical device company, which is focused on acute critical care and related software, will occupy and entire 111,119 s/f building, representing more than half of the 215,000 rentable s/f of class A industrial/flex space available at the site.

This lease is a testament to the strength of Davis’ expertise in the industrial market and sets the tone for the balance of the campus.”

With 32’ clear-heights, enhanced loading facilities, generous truck courts and robust electrical supply, Upton Crossing is a premier location for companies looking to build out sophisticated and efficient warehouse and distribution space. The recent lease agreement at Upton Crossing is the latest milestone for Davis’ industrial portfolio, which is growing in Massachusetts and across the country.
