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.

Or goal is to fully understand our clients’ businesses in order to provide the best solutions.

From punch list to warranty walk to primary due diligence on the next project, we’re a partner to our clients – now and for years to come.

ARCO's proposal left no unanswered questions. It not only was the most competitive, it was the most detailed which provided an immediate comfort level of knowing exactly what we were going to get. The building that we needed to construct had a very aggressive schedule as our client (Ford Motor Company) required occupancy within 6 months of the start of construction. ARCO's attention to detail and industry knowledge allowed us to minimize the upfront work, allowing for an early start to construction and a building delivered on schedule. In an ever challenging construction industry, the ARCO team performed second to none.
