Burlington Economic Development Summit: Commercial Office & Future

Join Burlington's civic leaders & real estate professionals as we dive into the commercial office market and discuss local economic growth.

Burlington, like many communities along Route 128, is navigating a changing commercial office market. This summit is designed to help civic leadership ground local decision-making in current market realities, learn directly from experts, and identify practical steps the Town can take to support reinvestment and long-term economic vitality.

What to expect:
Market Reality Check: A commercial office market overview from Cushman & Wakefield, including current trends, vacancy dynamics, tenant considerations, and Burlington’s position relative to peer Route 128 communities.
Panel + Q&A: A moderated discussion with regional and local real estate professionals.
Solution Generation: A working discussion to identify at least one actionable municipal next step (e.g., policy/permitting improvements, a “deal clinic” approach, or other targeted actions to support investment readiness).

Who should attend
Town Meeting Members, Select Board Members, Planning Board Members, and other interested community members.
