  FORMER DIGITAL PROPERTY IS PURCHASED AND LEASED

  The former Digital Equipment Co. complex in Tewksbury has been sold
  for $5.75 million and then leased to Avid Technology for office space
  and light manufacturing. 

  Located at 1925 Andover St., the 185,000 square-foot building will 
  undergo extensive interior and exterior renovations to accomodate 
  Avid, a software developer and systems integrator for digital media 
  solutions for the professional film, video and audio post-production 
  markets.

  The two building facility is located on Route 495 at Route 133.

  MGI Properties, a real estate investment trust with a $270 million 
  portfolio, purchased the property from Digital. Digital was represented 
  by Mathew P. Dwyer, Jr. and Curtis P. Oberg of Spaulding and Slye. 
  Karen Carr and Ernest Barrueta of Peter Eliott & Co. represented MGI. 
  Carr also represented Avid and Barrueta represented MGI in the lease.

Can't say I'm upset - it wasn't an attractive site.

3858.4TWO coming down?LUNER::MAYALLTue May 09 1995 14:569
    
    I drove up 495 yesterday afternoon.  The building closest to 495 was
    having the northeast side removed by crane.  The whole north end of the
    building and one quarter (facing away from the highway) of the building
    was torn down.  Looks to be done as to not totally destroy the building
    
     Wonder what is going in there?

  That's probably a valid explanation.

    Sounds like a "this old house" solution.  Not allowed to build a
    building but they can repair and existing one, so they remove all
    but one brick and start from there.  :=)

3858.9Parting is such sweet sorrow...CAPNET::USM001::MainsNotes from a PC...never work!Tue May 09 1995 16:203
Couldn't have happened to a nicer site.  I wonder who gets the big 
satellite dishes.  With today's technology you can probably reach Pluto
with the bigger one!

    Rather glad that someone had the foresight to see that as a critical
    path item prior to demolition. :^]
