J.C. Cannistraro, LLC to move manufacturing and warehousing operations to Boston’s Seaport
Rendering of 25 Fid Kennedy Avenue - Boston, MA
Boston, MA J.C. Cannistraro, LLC plans to relocation and consolidation of its manufacturing and warehousing operations from Wilmington, Watertown and Stoughton to the city’s Seaport District. Cannistraro has completed the execution of a 50 year ground lease with the city of Boston’s Economic Development and Industrial Corp. for Parcel N, 25 Fid Kennedy Ave., a 3.5 acre site with a two-story, 157,000 s/f building in the Raymond L. Flynn Marine Park. Cannistraro will substantially rehabilitate the property for use as a prefabrication and assembly plant for plumbing, fire protection, HVAC piping and sheet metal systems for installation at construction sites throughout the region.
Historically known as “Building 16,” 25 Fid Kennedy Ave. was built in 1940 by the U.S. Navy as a multi-trade heavy machine shop. The open, steel frame structure and forty-ton overhead crane capacity facilitated large-scale metal fabrication and assembly supporting the U.S. efforts in WWII. “The renovations at 25 Fid Kennedy Avenue will preserve the legacy of its industrial Art Deco architecture and utilitarian use,” said John Cannistraro. “We are proud to showcase the craftsmanship of local tradespeople, and to advocate continuous improvement and best practices within the construction community.”

In addition to providing jobs for city residents, the move enables Cannistraro to apply green building technologies, lean manufacturing principles and modular building methods. A significant amount of flex space within the facility will be available for innovative projects in collaboration with industry partners. Cannistraro is expected to occupy 25 Fid Kennedy Ave. in September 2017. The company’s corporate offices will remain in Watertown.
