Capital Group Properties continues leasing success at Maynard Crossing
Maynard, MA Capital Group Properties today announced new retail leases signed in 2021 at Maynard Crossing, a premiere new mixed-use development anchored by Market Basket. These newly signed tenants include Cyclebar (2,600 s/f) and Zina Day Spa (2,300 s/f), which are slated for a mid-2021 opening to continue bringing a diverse mix of supportive uses to fruition at Maynard Crossing.
Cyclebar will bring a premium indoor cycling experience to Maynard Crossing, located in the northwest corner of the site, and Zina Day Spa will offer a broad range of wellness services located near 110 Grill.
Recent openings celebrated in 2021 at Maynard Crossing include the Paper Store in January as well as Spirits Liquor Store in February. By the end of March, Middlesex Savings Bank and Eco Nails are also anticipated to welcome customers at their new Maynard Crossing locations, with several more openings scheduled in the coming months.
“Since the first of the year, leasing activity has been strong. We are working with additional tenants that are close to signing on to round out a comprehensive hub of mixed-use amenities,” said James Vazza, leasing manager of Capital Group Properties.
Maynard Crossing’s creative design incorporates ample open space for social distancing. The property’s numerous green and healthy features include walking paths, green space, water features, spaced out benches, dog park, as well as large outdoor patios for restaurants.
Maynard Crossing, which is located at 2-16 Digital Way, broke ground in 2019. The two residential communities within the development, including The Vue at Maynard Crossing, a 180-unit high-end apartment complex developed by LeCesse Development, and Camellia Gardens, a 143-unit upscale senior independent living community developed by Hawthorn Retirement Group, are both now open.
