With its labor intensive quarrying, the granite industry brought many immigrant workers to this area, many of who maintained a permanent presence long after the industry faded. The legacy of many service-related enterprises that catered to the needs of the quarry workers and the industry is still evident throughout the area.

Residential and commercial development has dominated in recent years. The first major office development built at Batterymarch Park features a four building Class A office park that attractively complements the physical aspects of the site and has magnificent views of the Boston skyline. Conveniently located at the intersection of I-95 and I-93, the park allows tenants ready access to the areas highway system and is near major shopping malls, hotels and restaurants.

The opportune location attracted the development of another Class A office building on Willard Street. With a striking glass façade, the five story One Adams Place, houses first- class office space with meeting rooms, outside seating areas and ample parking.

Proximity to the highway and public transportation as well as attractive, available space led to the Crown Colony Development.
A well-planned mixed-use development of 175 acres created in a pleasing park-like atmosphere, this complex features condominiums, two million square feet of office space in more than 13 buildings and the Marriott Hotel.

Through a partnership with the City of Quincy, the Quarry Hills Project used excavated material from Boston’s Big Dig to recently transform three adjoined landfills into a major recreational complex. Consisting of a world-class premier golf course, baseball and soccer fields, the facility serves both the residents of the City and visitors. The City’s largest residential development of condominiums and apartments, High Point, is also nearing completion along Quarry Street.

There are many business opportunities in this area. Local business districts support the growing residential population. Office and light industrial development flourishes.
