Hobbs Brook Real Estate Selects Erland Construction for Cafe Renovation at 601 Edgewater Drive

Wakefield, MA – Erland Construction has been chosen by Hobbs Brook Real Estate (HBRE), a leader in innovative and sustainable commercial real estate, to renovate the cafe at 601 Edgewater Drive in Wakefield, MA. This active property is a hub of activity, and Erland, in collaboration with Margulies Perruzzi Architects, will reimagine the cafe and dining area to create a more modern and inviting environment.

The renovation includes new finishes, millwork, lighting, acoustical ceiling tiles, and sprinkler heads, along with substantial modifications to the building’s existing mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems, as well as the addition of a patio just outside the cafe. Throughout the project, Erland will work closely with HBRE to ensure building operations remain uninterrupted. By prioritizing safety and maintaining kitchen services during peak hours, the team aims to minimize disruption to employees and visitors. The updated space will also meet FM standards, underscoring Erland’s dedication to quality and precision.

“Hobbs Brook Real Estate has a longstanding reputation for providing forward-thinking, high-performing spaces for their tenants,” said Ben McConchie, Corporate, Commercial Group Manager at Erland Construction. “We are excited to partner with HBRE on this renovation, bringing our expertise to transform the cafe into a space that enhances the employee experience and aligns with HBRE’s commitment to sustainability and innovation.”

This is Erland’s first time partnering with Hobbs Brook Real Estate.
