Located along the Route 2 and Route 3 corridors from Route 128, Boston’s inner beltway, out to just before Route 495, the Norwest submarket has historical been a hotbed for established high technology and defense companies and new emerging start-ups. Burlington anchors this submarket and Lexington, Bedford and Billerica are other towns with significant commercial space. High profile companies including Sun Microsystems, Oracle, Raytheon, Instrumentation Laboratory, and RSA Security call this submarket home, and benefit from its easy access into Boston and Cambridge, as well as the amenity rich environment including the Burlington Mall retail area.
