The center is located off I-495 in the northwest portion of the Boston trade area.

“We are pleased to add Westford Valley Marketplace to our portfolio of leased and managed centers,” said Tom Wilder, a company principal.  We look forward to building on the addition of Whole Foods Market to enhance the consumer experience and the value for our client.” 

Westford Valley Marketplace is the third center that UBS has asked Wilder to manage.  Others include The Source, a 250,000 s/f center in White Plains, N.Y. and Wayside, a 200,000 s/f open-air center in Burlington Mass.
