Chelmsford, Massachusetts
Chelmsford, Massachusetts

Chelmsford () is a town in Massachusetts, United States. Established in 1655, it is located 24 miles (39 km) northwest of Boston. The Chelmsford militia played a role in the American Revolution at the Battle of Lexington and Concord and the Battle of Bunker Hill. Chelmsford was incorporated in May 1655 by an act of the Massachusetts General Court. When Chelmsford was incorporated, its local economy was fueled by lumber mills, limestone quarries and kilns. The farming community of East Chelmsford was incorporated as Lowell in the 1820s; over the next decades it would go on to become one of the first large-scale factory towns in the United States because of its early role in the country's Industrial Revolution. Chelmsford experienced a drastic increase in population between 1950 and 1970, coinciding with the connection of U.S. Route 3 in Lowell to Massachusetts Route 128 in the 1950s and the extension of U.S. Route 3 from Chelmsford to New Hampshire in the 1960s. Chelmsford has a representative town meeting form of government. The current town manager is Paul Cohen. The town has one public high school—Chelmsford High School, which is ranked among the top 500 schools in the nation—as well as two middle schools, and four elementary schools. The charter middle school started in Chelmsford became a regional charter school (Innovation Academy Charter School) covering grades 5 through 12, now located in Tyngsborough. Chelmsford high school age students also have the option of attending the Nashoba Valley Technical High School, located in Westford. In 2011, Chelmsford was declared the 28th best place to live in the United States by Money magazine.

Cross Point is an office complex in Lowell, Massachusetts. Formerly named Wang Towers, it is a local landmark, dominating the busy intersection of Interstate 495 (the Boston outer ring road) and U.S. Route 3. It is the third-tallest building in Lowell, after Three River Place and the Kenneth R. Fox Student Union at UMass Lowell. The complex, consisting of three interconnected cement-clad 12-storey towers and other buildings totaling over 1,200,000 square feet (110,000 m2) situated on 15 acres (6.1 ha), was built by original sole tenant Wang Laboratories as its new world headquarters.Construction began in 1980, and it was completed in stages at a cost of US$60,000,000 (about $182 million in current dollars). The buildings served as a demonstration of the rise of Wang Labs and the Boston-area computer technology industry generally, and later as a sign of the rapid fall of the company and industry: Wang Labs entered bankruptcy in 1992, and the property was sold at bankruptcy auction in 1994 for a tiny fraction of its construction cost – $525,000 (about $1.04 million in current dollars) – in 1994, to Louis Pellegrine, fronting for Atlantic Retail Partners.Atlantic renovated the towers (with the help of tax breaks and a $4 million letter of credit from the City of Lowell) and sold them in 1998 to San Francisco-based Yale Properties USA and Blackstone Real Estate Advisors, reportedly for over $100 million. The towers acquired new tenants, but business was hurt by the 2000–2001 bursting of the "dot-com bubble", and it was described as being, by 2005, a "ghost town" with an occupancy rate of about 50%.Yale Properties bought out Blackstone's share in 2005; in the same year San Diego-based Divco West Properties bought an interest in the property. By 2007 the occupancy rate was back up to about 90%, with major tenants such as Motorola moving in. Yale actively shopped the property, but a 2007 deal to sell it for about $180 million to a consortium led by Davis Marcus Partners fell through. The real estate crash beginning in 2007 put severe strain on the property's finances, but Yale and Divco West (along with Canada's Public Sector Pension Investment Board) retained ownership. In 2012 the towers were about 70% filled and Colliers International was hired to boost occupancy.The towers were sold to CP Associates LLC for $100 million in 2014.One of the largest office lease relocation transactions in Greater Boston happened when Kronos Incorporated signed a 500,000 square-foot global headquarters office lease at Cross Point in 2016. This move makes it one of the largest employers in Lowell and the largest tenant at Cross Point with 1,500 employees on a total of 16 floors. CrossPoint’s ownership team and Kronos plan to spend more than $40 million on the design and build of a completely modernized facility.
