Jewett Construction Company celebrates completion of 214,000 s/f Upton Crossing

Wilmington, MA Jewett Construction Company has completed construction on a 214,400 s/f multi-tenant speculative industrial warehouse campus for Davis, a real estate development firm. The dual warehouse facility, known as Upton Crossing, is located on a 27-acre site at 38 Upton Dr. 

These two buildings have been designed and constructed to meet the highest standards demanded by modern warehouse distribution, industrial, and high-tech manufacturing tenants. The buildings are outfitted with Ductilcrete engineered slab systems, 32’ clear heights with column spacing of 45’ x 56’. 

The buildings further enhance productivity with four 12’ x 60’ speed bays, 29 dock doors equipped with dock levelers, and provisions for additional dock locations, ensuring streamlined operations for all tenants.

The site has access to both I-93 North and I-93 South via Exit 35, ensuring transportation routes in all directions. Additionally, it boasts a 0.5-mile drive from Rte. 125, a six-mile distance from I-495, and 18-mile commute from Logan Airport.

What sets these structures apart is Jewett Construction’s commitment to efficiency and innovation. Thanks to the company’s accelerated design-build format, this project became a reality in 18 months, from the initial conception to construction completion.

“We are immensely proud of the completion of Upton Crossing, which stands as a testament to our team’s expertise and passion for building remarkable spaces,” said Greg Stewart, president of Jewett Construction. “A lot of planning and logistical thought has gone into designing this building to be the ideal facility optimized for peak efficiency. This project with Davis required vision and trust in our incredible project team, and we are proud to see this marque project completed with such success.”
