C
onstruction Management and Builders, Inc. (CM&B) has been awarded the contract to build The Herb Chambers Companies' new Toyota dealership at 400 Mystic Avenue in Medford, MA. Demolition of a 3-story portion of the existing building will begin immediately as part of an ambitious redevelopment plan.

    Herb Chambers acquired the 5-acre property, formerly used as Century Bank's headquarters, in January 2022 and is committed to transforming it into a larger, state-of-the-art facility. The project involves renovating the existing structure and constructing a 3-story addition, totaling 120,000 square feet. This new building will be seamlessly connected to the existing tower on-site, creating a modern dealership spanning 209,000 square feet.

    CM&B is partnering with an exceptional team of professionals, including Regent Associates, Crocker Design Group, and Quieto Consulting Engineers, among others. "We are honored to have contributed to the design and permitting of this project," said David Newhall, PE at Crocker Design Group. CM&B is proud to contribute to this transformative project, which will elevate the automotive retail experience and generate additional commercial tax revenue for Medford.

    The project will result in the creation of 50 new jobs for Medford residents and 50 jobs that will be relocated from Herb Chambers Toyota of Boston. "We are grateful for the opportunity to support clients like Herb Chambers on their growth trajectory," said Tim Puopolo, Executive Vice President/COO at CM&B. This project marks a significant collaboration between CM&B and The Herb Chambers Companies, with 12 successful projects completed together over 15 years.
