Intercontinental Real Estate Corp. has acquired Locke Dr. Technology Park. The acquisition, made on behalf of Intercontinental's U.S. Real Estate Investment Fund, LLC ("US REIF"), was led by Michael Keyes, director, acquisitions at Intercontinental.
Locke Dr. Technology Park is a 295,700 s/f flex/office portfolio comprised of three stand alone assets.
Located off I-495 and four miles off the Mass. Turnpike, Locke Dr. is a combination of flex and office space. The portfolio is 90% leased to companies and high tech entrepreneurs. It is on 27 acres and has 942 parking spaces.

This asset offers superior infrastructure, a strong tenant roster, and convenience to the major highways."
Providence, RI Shawmut Design and Construction celebrated the ceremonial groundbreaking for the 195 District Park Pavilion, marking the start of construction on a facility that will feature year-round dining and support space for park operations. In addition to the 3,500 s/f building, the project will include infrastructure upgrades
