wbjournal.com | November 16, 2026 | Worcester Business Journal 7 LaSalle Investment Management purchased the 54,504-square-foot truck terminal, situated on about 25 acres near Interstate 495 in the Boroughs submarket of Northbor- ough, from NorthBridge Partners of Wakefield. e facility is fully leased to FedEx Freight and has a cross-dock freight terminal, a maintenance facility and trailer parking. It was originally built for FedEx in 2012. JLL Capital Markets, which represented NorthBridge Partners and arranged the $36 million sale, said in a release that the property is "a mission-critical logistics asset featuring extensive trailer parking, cross-dock functionality and direct access to Greater Boston's transpor- tation infrastructure." e JLL Capital Markets team was led by Senior Managing Director Michael Restivo and Senior Di- rector David Coffman, along with Director Tommy Hovey, according to the release. "Purpose-built transportation assets leased to creditworthy occu- piers continue to attract significant investor interest, particularly when they serve an essential role within a tenant's network," Restivo said. e property offered a "rare opportunity to acquire a highly functional FedEx Freight facility in a supply-constrained logistics corri- dor serving Greater Boston and the broader New England region," he added. e property features 76 dock doors, 309 trailer-parking positions and 116 employee parking spaces, providing the infrastructure neces- sary to support high-volume freight movement and regional distribution operations, the release said, and offers convenient access to Inter- states 495, 90 and 290 and Route 20, providing connectivity throughout Massachusetts and New England, including Worcester, Boston, Provi- dence and Manchester. e location also benefits from proximity to rail and intermodal transportation infrastructure that supports effi- cient freight movement across the Northeast.
