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.

Additionally, the campus’s 158-acre site can accommodate up to 620,000 s/f of additional new development and its existing infrastructure leaves it well positioned to support a wide array of innovation, clean-tech, life-science and corporate office users.

“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.”

The business campus features a world-class roster of on-site amenities, including cafes serving breakfast, lunch and a 24/7 grab-and-go menu; a top-of-the-line fitness center; a community vegetable and herb garden; multiple outdoor patios; 28 EV charging stations; a gaming area with pool tables, a bocce court, shuffleboard and arcade games; a putting green; indoor and outdoor basketball shooting courts; a TrackMan golf simulator and more.
