The Promise:
The Devens community has been carefully planned to create a work environment where corporate residents draw strength from each other and prosper from their surroundings. From mature corporations to start-ups, satellite locations to headquarters, Devens offers 8 million square feet of space. In addition, a single board comprised of 12 local people manages development permitting at Devens. All applications are acted on in less than 75 days; many are completed in only 45 days. No other park can match the project flexibility and approval speed that Devens has to offer.
