Manufacturing Outlook for New Building Demand
Prospect for increased demand for new buildings in manufacturing is excellent. Mills are filling fast, with space scarce for a leading Boston firm seeking 10,000 square feet for heavy looms. Shoe manufacturing spaces and smaller mill rentals exist, plus a premier mill for sale for heavier machinery. Otis Allen & Co. mills on Wille street appear solid investments. The Wamesit Power company has leased a vacant mill on Lawrence Street to a New York dyeing firm. Novelty Machine company plans to relocate from the Cady building to the Davis and Sargent building on Middlesex Street, expanding capacity. Many offers of work have been refused as shops focused on specialties, but the new firm has ample capital and top mechanics, promising a significant boost to local industry.
