Both tenants were driven by recent and future growth and the need to accommodate an expanding, highly-skilled workforce. Nth Cycle, Inc. signed a 47,578 s/f lease on the first floor at 15 Blue Sky Dr. UII America, Inc., relocating from Cambridge, signed a 7,397 s/f lease on the first floor at 65 Blue Sky Dr.

“We are thrilled to welcome two strong innovation tenants, Nth Cycle, Inc. and UII America, Inc., to Blue Sky Center’s campus ecosystem,” said Malatesta. “The ability to scale and attract/retain top tier talent remains a driver in the marketplace, and Blue Sky Center’s robust amenity package, and diverse workspace offerings continue to garner steady leasing activity.”
