John Flatley Company leases 1,976 s/f to Orange Leaf

The John Flatley Company has completed a 1,976 s/f lease with Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt at Tara Commons. The lease brings the property to over 60% pre-leased. Tara Commons is Nashua's newest mixed-use retail development on Spit Book Rd. at Exit 1 off Rte. 3/FE Everett Turnpike. Located at the entrance of Gateway Hills, the five building development forms a 35,000 s/f neighborhood retail village designed to provide Gateway Hills and its abutting community with a convenient place to dine, shop and run day-to-day errands. "We couldn't be more excited to be coming to Tara Commons and to Nashua. It's a perfect fit for us," said Jeff Hathaway, franchise owner, Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt. "We don't just want to offer frozen yogurt, we want to be a community resource," he said, adding that the store would be hosting fundraising events, art displays, and story times as well as the open-mic nights. "Orange Leaf is one of the fastest growing franchises in the country and services a diverse demographic," said Thomas Smith, vice president of leasing at the John Flatley Company.
