WEST SPRINGFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS (June 22, 2021) – Colebrook Realty Services, Inc. is pleased to announce the lease of 27,000 square-feet to MilliporeSigma located at 11 Interstate Drive, West Springfield MA. The agreement between MilliporeSigma and Klondike Investment Group, Inc. will provide the life sciences company with a new home in the region and represents a strong addition to the former ITT Exelis building.
The life science business of Merck KGaA operates as MilliporeSigma in the United States. As of 2015, the global company has a broad portfolio of 300,000 life science products along with approximately 19,000 employees, and 65 manufacturing sites globally.
11 Interstate Drive was purchased in 2018 at auction following several years of vacancy after ITT Exelis announced the shutdown of its operations in West Springfield back in 2013. The new ownership group has worked hard to reposition the important building at the intersection of I-91 and I-90. “The property is very well located and we’re making substantial reinvestments at the building,” said the owner, Bill Stotler. Work has already begun to deliver Millipore’s new space, and capital improvements to the property will continue to position the building as an ideal spot for innovative businesses in the area in need of office, lab, or flex space.
MilliporeSigma was represented by Christopher Cuddy, Executive Vice president, and Matthew Davis, Commercial Real Estate Advisor, of Colliers. Colebrook’s Vice President and Principal, Mitch Bolotin, represented the landlord in the transaction. “We’re very excited to have Millipore as a tenant at the property,” said Mitch, “They’re an ideal organization to anchor the repositioning of this important building for West Springfield.” Any questions related to the deal should be directed to Mitch Bolotin who can be reached at 413-781-0066 or via email: mjbolotin@colebrookrealty.com.
