Chelsea, Mass – The Simboli Properties today officially broke ground on the new Baldor Boston warehouse at 215 Williams Street in Chelsea, Mass. The Simboli Properties, which announced the new Baldor lease in April, recently negotiated $2.7 million in new financing through Citizens Bank to complete the project.
