WOBURN, MA — A major Boston-area lab developer has purchased two Woburn buildings occupied by Raytheon as part of plans for a Route 128 "mega-campus," the developer said Monday.
Alexandria Real Estate Equities Inc. paid $124.7 million for 225 and 235 Presidential Way Friday, it said in a securities filing Monday. Combined, the two buildings are just over 440,000 square feet.
Alexandria already owned the neighboring 19 Presidential Way, which is over 144,000 square feet. They also have plans to build a 112,000 square foot site at 215 Presidential Way, according to the filing.
