Former National Amusements headquarters returns to the leasing market for the first time in two decades under new ownership.
NORWOOD, Mass. — R.W. Holmes Commercial Real Estate has been named the exclusive leasing agent for 846 University Ave., a 60,000-square-foot Class A office property in Norwood that is returning to the market for the first time in nearly 20 years.
The building, formerly home to the headquarters of National Amusements and Showcase Cinemas, offers leasing opportunities for office, medical, and flex/research and development users. Available spaces range from approximately 4,000 square feet to the entire 60,000-square-foot building, providing flexibility for businesses of varying sizes.
The property has not been marketed for lease since 2006. It was acquired in May 2026 by Falconi Properties, which has begun significant improvements to the building as part of its repositioning strategy.
Located at 846 University Ave., the property offers immediate access to Interstates 95 and 93, as well as Route 1, placing it within minutes of University Station and Legacy Place. The location provides convenient access to restaurants, retail, hotels, and commuter amenities, making it attractive to companies seeking a suburban office location with strong regional connectivity.
R.W. Holmes said the building’s combination of flexible floor plans, modern amenities, and accessibility makes it well suited for a variety of tenants, including office, medical, and research and development users.
“Today’s tenants are looking for quality, accessibility, and a great value that will support their business and employees,” said Michael Fahy, assistant vice president at R.W. Holmes Commercial Real Estate. “846 University Avenue delivers on all three, making it an outstanding opportunity for companies looking to establish or expand their presence in the heart of the 128 south market.”
The assignment marks the latest addition to R.W. Holmes’ commercial leasing portfolio as demand continues for well-located suburban office properties that can accommodate flexible workplace and life sciences-related uses.
