Holmes and Blackey of R.W. Holmes lease
5,600 s/f to BrightSpec
Waltham, MA R.W. Holmes Commercial Real Estate has reached full occupancy at 1466 Main St.
BrightSpec, a life science tools company commercializing molecular rotational resonance spectroscopy, became the newest tenant at 1466 Main St., securing a 5,600 s/f space at the 14,514 s/f light lab use and office building.
Earlier in 2023, Quantum Diamond Technologies Inc. leased space at the property for their light lab/R&D use.
R.W. Holmes director of corporate services Elizabeth Holmes and managing director Dean Blackey represented the landlord, Legacy Squared, LLC. Mekae Hyde of Hughes Marino represented the tenant in the transaction.
“We’re thrilled to have BrightSpec as a new tenant in the building and to have assisted Legacy Squared LLC in bringing the building to 100% occupancy,” said Holmes. “We continue to see a steady demand for small-to-midsize light lab space across Greater Boston, and properties such as 1466 Main are a great case study for the opportunity to convert office to flex/R&D uses in the current market.”
R.W. Holmes is the exclusive leasing agent for the three-story building with access to I-95 and offers both garage and open parking.
