Reframe, CC&F Deploy Multipurpose Unit as Marketing and Sales Office

Reframe Systems has partnered with development firm Cabot, Cabot & Forbes (CC&F) to deploy a Reframe unit as the onsite marketing and sales office for The Bolt, a 180,000-square-foot innovation and manufacturing center under construction in Woburn along the New Boston Corridor.

The 554-square-foot Reframe unit, delivered and installed onsite, is serving as a high-end sales and leasing hub for CC&F during The Bolt’s construction period, expected to conclude in Q2 2027. Once The Bolt reaches occupancy, the Reframe unit will be repurposed as an accessory dwelling unit, giving it a second life as permanent housing.

Designed as a full-scale prototype for The Bolt, the modular unit mirrors the metal panels, window colors, and finishes of the main building, serving as a “mini-me” of the larger project, Reframe said. Its interior includes a conference room, kitchenette, bathroom and flexible office or bedroom space, allowing CC&F to test materials, workflows and finishes before scaling construction.
