Real Capital Markets to market this transaction.
The two-story structure includes 166,574 square feet on 18.81 acres located just south of Boston.
The building is 100 percent leased in long-term agreements to two publicly traded tenants: Instron Corporation, a division of Fortune 500 giant Illinois Tool Works, and LTX Corporation.

The plans call for the development of more than 4.5 million square feet of new space in three phases, including residential, office, open-air retail and potentially hotels.
