RIW congratulates its client Sublime Systems on securing a site for its first commercial manufacturing facility in Holyoke, a Massachusetts city known for its history of industrial developments.
The Somerville-based company, recently named to TIME magazine’s list of America’s top green tech companies for 2024, created a process to make an environmentally friendly decarbonized cement that replaces traditional fossil-fuel alternatives and the 16-acre site will be critical for scaling production.
“The same qualities that made Holyoke a world-class industrial hub in the past perfectly position it to now be the home for clean tech manufacturing of the future,” said Sublime Systems CEO and Co-Founder Dr. Leah Ellis. “The Water Street site exemplifies that in its ample space, industrial zoning, access to renewable hydroelectricity, utilities, and even rail. We are committed to being a good neighbor that engages residents as we advance cement manufacturing technology that will clean up an industry that is one of today’s worst global emitters.”
RIW’s Commercial Real Estate Group advised Sublime Systems on all aspects of the transaction.
