Boston has traditionally provided a very strong value-add
environment. The combination of its world class academic
institutions, medical/research facilities, established industries,
entrepreneurial tradition and historical roots continue to make
Boston one of the most attractive markets - and a perennial pick
as one of the top five investment markets.

The market has a wide range of attractive housing stock combined with excellent public and private educational options. Also adding to its appeal are the constraints to development. The geographic limitation of a mature region combined with the political and planning process along with a notable commitment to protected conservation land limit the opportunity for unbridled development to exceed demand for commercial and residential product.
The vacancy created from this current downturn has been largely a demand driven event rather than a supply driven event. The moderate levels of new supply developed over the past ten years as evidenced by the supply of office increasing locally by 9% vs. a 21% increase nationally. As a result, the greater Boston Market is well positioned to take advantage of a significantly tighter market accompanying job creation during a recovery.
