Halepis and Williams of UGL Equis represents Way Systems in lease

UGL Equis represented client Way Systems in a renewal agreement for roughly 15,000 s/f at its Unicorn Park location, 200 Unicorn Park Dr. UGL Equis vice president James Halepis and senior associate Roger Williams represented the tenant in the transaction. "This lease agreement aligned strategically with Way Systems' business plan. The current location is convenient for its employee base, provides access to amenities such as restaurants and hotels and is within a decent drive time to Logan International Airport," Halepis said. "There were several properties in the immediate area that would have qualified as suitable space; however Unicorn Park offered the best features and economics. Additionally, by entering into a renewal agreement, Way Systems was able to also avoid the costs associated with relocating," Williams added.
