“The Xchange is perfect for pioneering companies seeking state-of-the-art workspace in a cohesive, convenient setting,” said Duncan Gilkey, a senior vice president of asset management at TDC.

“There is high demand in this thriving submarket for campus office environments. Our repositioning strategy responds to that need.”

“We are thrilled to be re-introducing The Xchange at Bedford to the brokerage and tenant community,” said JLL Managing Director Matt Daniels. “The site provides tenants with robust amenities onsite and nearby, as well as easy access and branding on Route 3. The Davis Companies’ vision for the business campus has been resonating with innovative companies across Greater Boston.”

TDC purchased the former Bedford Business Park, now dubbed The Xchange at Bedford, in June 2012, adding to its portfolio of technology-related properties and positioning itself to continue to grow with the area’s changing tenant base. The property’s tenants’ include: iRobot Corporation, MultiPlan, Inc., and Datawatch Corporation. TDC’s expertise in transforming office parks into prime work environments has helped form a concentration of talent and innovation off of Route-128.
