TURNKEY CONSTRUCTION SOLUTIONS FOR A
THRIVING NEW ENGLAND MARKET
With demand on the rise and vacancy low, the New England real estate market is highly competitive and demands the most innovative overall solution for success. The rise and influence of e-commerce has resulted in an increased need for last-mile facilities near high density urban areas such as Boston and other metropolitan areas throughout New England. The scarcity of straightforward greenfield sites in these areas coupled with the complex civil challenges presented on most remaining parcels available in the New England area requires innovative solutions. This has allowed ARCO to showcase its ability to provide the most efficient designs and cost effective solutions. This combined with ARCO’s ability to provide a turnkey design/build solution and willingness to take on the associated risk means ARCO New England can deliver a successful project on a previously cost ineffective project.
