Lynn

A designated brownfield site that has been restored to active use, CIVC presents an environmentally-sensitive “recycled building” opportunity for its portfolio companies

The Community
This site is located just 10 miles outside of Boston with easy access to the Cambridge-MIT and North Shore Cleantech clusters. An MBTA commuter rail station is within two blocks walking distance of the facility. And, its location in the heart of the central business district means that amenities such as dining, shopping and banking services are just steps away.

Building Specifics
The CIVC Lynn facility consists of 7,000 sq. ft. of office and laboratory/workshop space that can be flexibly subdivided for 10-20 small (3-4 person) clean technology start-up companies

The site’s physical environment facilitates clean technology development. It is equipped with ample power capacity and offers ready access to the electric grid. Roof access accommodates solar photo-voltaic (PV) system development. High capacity telecommunications access facilitates collaboration with remote individuals and groups.

CIVC offers flexible build-out and partitioning options to accommodate a variety of portfolio company requirements, while ensuring privacy and security.

Common areas include kitchen, break space, as well as multiple conference rooms with a range of capacities. Secured access is provided by keypad entry, with entry and exit logged. There is ample lot and on street parking.

Economics
Located in a designated Economic Target Area, a number of tax incentives are available to CIVC portfolio companies. CIVC also creates access to an array of financial programs and opens the doors of its network of CleanTech industry affiliations to its clients. Our overall goal is to facilitate successful exits of our portfolio companies.
