Summary, model-written

Industri-Plex Superfund site in Woburn, MA, was redeveloped as an office park and transportation hub by the city of Woburn starting in 1999. It is fully built, publicly owned, and currently leased at a median rent of $2,126. The site is adjacent to the built Woburn Mall (0 km away) and near Mishawum station (2.9 km).

Why. Retrofit already completed (status: built), public ownership, and median rent data are verified. No environmental cleanup status or current tenant details are provided. Peer sites (e.g., Woburn Mall, 0 km away) share similar redevelop strategies but are not directly comparable due to different types (mall vs. industrial).

Where it stands. No active development opportunities identified (opp_score: 0.0) due to existing completion and public ownership. Traffic data shows high volume (17,663 ADT) on a principal arterial road.

For a planner

  • Adjacent to Woburn Mall (0 km)
  • Public ownership limits private investment
  • Transportation infrastructure integrated

For a developer

  • No current development potential (retrofit complete)
  • Median rent $2,126 is verified
  • No environmental remediation status provided

What we do not know yet

  • Superfund status not resolved in record
  • No vacancy rate or tenant list
  • Housing market data (ZHVI $804k) irrelevant to industrial site
