We are confident that 325 Foxborough Blvd. presents an ideal opportunity to provide long term value both to our investors and our new tenant,” said Todd Barclay, SVP of Acquisitions at Calare. “NECI will bring its corporate headquarters to this site, providing a space for its 400 employees to enjoy a campus-like setting, an array of on-site amenities, and a convenient location.
