"Tenant's love these assets because they each have a great on-site amenity base, and are immediately accessible by both highway and public transportation. In addition to the on-site amenities, such as food service and covered parking, there is no doubt that we have benefited greatly from the success of Legacy Place in Dedham and University Station in Westwood (mixed use developments consisting of 675,000 s/f and 1.5 million s/f respectively). Tenant's love the fact that every possible amenity that they could want is within the property or just minutes away."
