Dedham, MA Washington Trust’s Commercial Real Estate Group provided commercial financing to Dedham Retail Realty Ventures for the development of a two-parcel property directly across from Legacy Place, a 600,000 s/f open air shopping, dining and entertainment destination.

The new property includes two retail buildings, totaling 11,500 s/f of space. Tenants include Sprint, Select Comfort, Starbucks and Red Wing shoes. Demand for the properties is strong due to its great visibility and location on a highly trafficked retail corridor. 

“This property has a superb location that was instrumental in its leasing momentum,” said Julia Anne Slom, senior vice president and team leader of Washington Trust’s Commercial Real Estate Group. “The plaza serves as a great compliment to surrounding retail development.”
