KeyPoint Partners negotiates
leases at O’Connor Hardware Plaza

Billerica, MA KeyPoint Partners (KPP) has negotiated a lease with Los Altos Mexican Restaurant & Cantina at O’Connor Hardware Plaza. Vice president of retail brokerage Rob Grady and retail brokerage associate Magnolia Neu negotiated the lease on behalf of the landlord. Los Altos will join new tenants Champions Indoor Golf, coming soon, and Billerica Auto Parts, which recently opened in the former Walgreens at the Plaza. Los Altos is operated by a local family-run company that runs several restaurants in New Hampshire. Champions Indoor Golf, which operates locations at the Pinehills Plymouth and in Bridgewater, Mass., provides a digital indoor golf experience. Other Plaza tenants include Bella Mia Salon, which recently expanded to a new space in the plaza, long-time tenant Divito Brothers Pizza, Tiger An’s Taekwondo, and Robert A. Scott General Contracting. O’Connor Hardware Plaza is an 83,200 s/f center with a signalized entrance on Boston Rd. (Rte. 3A) and a rear entrance on heavily-traveled Andover Road. The Plaza is anchored by O’Connor Ace Hardware, the dominant home improvement retailer within a five-mile radius, and one of the top-performing ACE Hardware locations in the USA. Two new pylon signs have been approved for the plaza, one at each entrance. There is a 934 s/f in-line space, adjacent to Billerica Auto Parts, suitable for a salon or other service. “Los Altos is a high-quality Mexican restaurant that will be an excellent addition to this busy plaza”, said Grady. “With Champions Indoor Golf, they’ll bring a new vitality to Billerica Center.”
