Framingham Site Highlighted By MA Economic Development Group

FRAMINGHAM, MA — An office building near the Staples headquarters in Framingham was one of 10 sites added on Tuesday to MassEcon's Ready 100 list, which serves as a sort-of advertisement for companies looking to expand in Massachusetts.

The office building at 175 Crossing Boulevard is the second Framingham site on the Ready 100 list. MassEcon, a nonprofit group that promotes economic development in the state, updates the Ready 100 list twice per year.

"Each of the ReadyMass 100 properties has been rigorously evaluated by a team of real estate experts in concert with our state partners and is certified for immediate occupancy or development. The properties have met key criteria relating to infrastructure, permitting, size and readiness.

According to the Worcester Business Journal, the other sites added to the list include: 320 Bowles Road, Agawam; Innovation Park, Andover; 300 Terminal St., Boston; 30 Dan Road, Canton; 2000 Crown Colony Drive, Quincy; 139 Shuman Ave., Stoughton; 645 Myles Standish Blvd., Taunton; 500 John Hancock Road, Taunton; 40 Crescent St., Worcester.

The Ready Mass 100 list has drawn several large economic development projects to the state, including an Amazon robotics lab in Westborough, and the Candela Medical headquarters in Marlborough.

Office space at 200 Staples Drive in Framingham is also on the Ready 100 list.
