Winstanley Enterprises welcomed its first tenants to WinBrook Business Park, its newly-constructed, speculative commercial development. Surgi-care, Inc. is the first of a group of tenants set to move into WinBrook's first phase, a 3-building 169,000 s/f office/flex complex located on the west end of Brook St., one mile off Exit 23 on I-91. Surgi-care, headquartered in Waltham, Mass., leased 9,200 s/f at 712 Brook St., and is one of the largest New England providers of both surgical and rehabilitative prosthetics and equipment for a number of orthopedic product lines. Winstanley Enterprises also recently sold 92 acres of land on Brook St. to The Stellar Group who is currently developing, for Burris Logistics, a two-phase 500,000 s/f refrigerated warehouse and distribution center for BJ's Wholesale Club. The project's 250,000 s/f first phase is scheduled for completion in September 2008. OR&L Commercial, LLC, along with CBRE New England brokered the sale of Gardner Nurseries' undeveloped 120 acres to Winstanley Enterprises for the WinBrook Business Park development.
