EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Coldwell Banker Commercial NRT presents the investment acquisition or the opportunity to bring your business to Downtown Fitchburg, Massachusetts. The property at 281 Main Street is a two-story, 16,000-square-foot building, with seven suites comprised of 11 offices/ retail condos. All suites have separate utilities, central A/C, and private parking. There is a full basement with lots of room for storage, and a public parking lot in the back for over 50 cars. 281 Main Street is ideal for any business that needs the public to be successful – a restaurant, a workout gym, retail stores, real estate offices, banking, a medical clinic, or an educational institute.

281 Main Street is ideally located downtown and is close to commuter rail stations, Fitchburg State University, the Fitchburg Courthouse, and the bustling professional and retail downtown corridor. This building is highly visible downtown, with a combined surplus of 33,000 vehicles passing daily at the intersection of Main Street and Day Street. Retailers along Main Street include CVS, Dunkin’, YMCA, Crunch Fitness, Family Dollar, Hannaford, McDonald’s, Petco, BJ’s Wholesale, Starbucks, and many more. The Fitchburg Regional Airport is less than 5 miles south via Crawford Highway, which serves Southwest Airlines, American Airlines, United Airlines, and other major air carriers.

Over 32,700 daytime employees travel within a 5-mile radius of 281 Main Street. Annual consumer spending is more than $1.6B, with food and drinks, transportation, and household products claiming the top three spending realms. Education and health services report the most significant number of businesses of the service-producing industries in the area.

Worcester is well-connected to Boston and other cities throughout New England. Numerous highways pass through the area, and the city is connected to Boston via commuter rail and Amtrak service. Worcester's location in the center of New England and its proximity to Boston make it a sought-after destination for many distribution and logistics firms, and the wholesale and retail sector is a key driver of economic and employment growth.
