Boston-Area MXU Inks Leases for 259K SF with Largest Tenants

The two largest tenants at The District Burlington have signed long-term lease extensions at the 1.3-million-square-foot mixed-use development in Burlington, MA. BAE Systems, the largest tenant at the project, signed a 135,018-square-foot lease extension. A second unnamed existing tenant also signed a long-term extension for nearly 125,000 square feet.

BAE Systems was represented by Colliers’ John Carroll III and Bill Lynch. Cushman & Wakefield’s Michael O’Leary, John Boyle and Elizabeth McLaughlin represented the ownership venture, National Development and AEW Capital Management.
