(BOSTON) – The Boston office of Hines, the international real estate firm, announced today that Hines Global REIT has acquired the Campus at Marlborough, a complex consisting of three interconnected office buildings, an amenity building and an undeveloped land tract that has been approved for 650,000 square feet of development in Marlborough, MA.
The seller was Bel Marlborough I LLC and Bel Marlborough II LLC.
Hines will assume property management responsibilities on behalf of Hines Global REIT.
Completed in 1999, the two, three, four and six-story buildings contain a total of 532,246 square feet.
The complex includes a full-service cafeteria, fitness center and conference center, which includes a 300-seat auditorium.
The property is 100 percent leased on a long-term basis to Hologic, Hewlett-Packard, Wellington Management and several other tenants.
“This is the dominant Class A property in the I-495 submarket due to its unique setting, unparalleled building design, infrastructure and amenity base,” said Hines Senior Vice President David Perry.
“With the additional land, we have the opportunity to expand the campus to accommodate our existing tenants’ growth needs as well as other companies seeking premium quality office space.”
 “The Campus at Marlborough is an excellent asset and our second investment in Boston, a market that Hines Global REIT has targeted for investment because of its diverse economy and high-quality, educated workforce," said Charles Hazen, president and CEO of Hines Global REIT.
