Commercial Gems: Perfect Locations for Business Expansion

At Commonwealth Commercial Advisors we often like to highlight compelling commercial properties strategically located outside of downtown Boston. Here are some of the current Massachusetts markets we feel are worth another look when expanding your business:

 

1. Waltham

10 miles west of Boston, Waltham offers a thriving suburban business environment. Check out a few of our Class-A office spaces available here with sizes ranging from 3,000-5,000 square feet. Waltham offers both competitive rents and proximity to major highways and transit, making it ideal for tech firms, startups, and satellite offices.

 

2. Needham

A bit further south, Needham is emerging as a popular commercial hub with flexible office and flex space offerings. One of the safest towns in the country, Needham’s quieter environment paired with easy access to Route 128 and I-95 makes it perfect for any business highlighting employee needs, value, and convenience.

 

3. Newton

Newton features prominently in our portfolio– for good reason. Excellent transit, affluent neighborhoods, and compact offices, Newton is ideal for professional services, medical offices, and cluster-based enterprises.

 

4. Cambridge and Allston

If you’re seeking walkable, transit-heavy communities, Cambridge and Allston deliver. Just outside of downtown Boston, both locations offer a surplus of foot traffic with a somewhat discounted price tag.

 

5. Weston and Watertown

For those trying to avoid the hustle and bustle of the city, Weston or Watertown offer a quieter, more accessible small-town atmosphere. They offer premium spaces that support low-disruption operations with suburban tranquility and easy inbound access.

 

Additional Reasons to Invest in These Timely Opportunities:

-Lower entry cost compared to downtown Boston, but these spots offer the same talent pool, clientele, and transit corridors.

-Less competition yields better negotiation power for these locations.

-These options offer high quality-of-life factors like ample parking, quieter commercial corridors, suburban amenities, making them attractive to employees and clients alike.

-Diversity of building types lets you choose from historic office and retail conversions to modern flex and medical suites. You’ll have more of an opportunity to tailor your space to your own niche needs.

While downtown Boston grabs attention, Waltham, Needham, Newton, Cambridge, Allston, Weston, and Watertown consistently offer thoughtful, more cost-efficient, high-potential options for business expansion. Need an expert to help you explore these markets? CCA is happy to help.
