BRUNSWICK
Window covering company RollEase has extended its initial one-year lease for its research and development facility at the former Brunswick Naval Air Station to three years.
RollEase signed its original lease for 11,234 square feet of space at 8 Leavitt Drive — formerly Navy Building 54 — on April 2 for a one-year term. The new lease is for three additional years with an option for six more.
RollEase employs 12 engineers and opened for operations on April 28.
“Brunswick is a great place to work and live, and Brunswick Landing is the ideal location for our Innovation Center,” said Greg Farr, senior vice president and chief innovation officer for RollEase. “The vision MRRA has for making Brunswick Landing an innovation hub, the like-minded businesses they have there today and their plans for opening TechPlace, make this the right environment for our Innovation Center. We are very excited to be part of this great story that is beginning to unfold here at Brunswick Landing.”
“We’re delighted RollEase opted to extend its lease,” MRRA Executive Director Steve Levesque said. “They’re exactly the kind of innovative company we need to attract here. They’ve been great to work with and we’re very pleased that they’ve been able to get up and running so quickly.”
Connecticut-based RollEase is the largest independent engineered component manufacturer and distributor in the custom window covering industry.
