A Berlin excavation company is building a new 9,400-square-foot office and contractor garage on Solomon Pond Road in Northborough.
The new facility is being built at 5 Goddard Road, at the intersection with Solomon Pond Road next to larger facilities hosting the manufacturer Saint-Gobain and the pharmaceutical company Sunovion, which is just over the town line in Marlborough. The project won site plan approval from the town last February.
The site, the upcoming new home for L.H. Wheeler Jr. Excavation of Berlin, is a long-vacant wooded parcel just off I-290 in a part of Northborough that’s seen increased interest for new uses.
Across Solomon Pond Road on Bearfoot Road, the real estate development and management company McCord paid $3.4 million last September for the 65,000-square-foot former GlaxoSmithKline building at 30 Bearfoot Road with plans to renovate it for new life science manufacturing use. Two doors down, a Buffalo, N.Y.,-based real estate firm paid $5.7 million in a deal closed last September for a 45,000-square-foot office building at 44 Bearfoot Road.
