"It's an area that is really up and coming," Synergy VP DeeMinnock tells GlobeSt.com in describing her company's interest. Inaddition to its proximity next to the Red Line subway, theUniversity of Massachusetts, and the John F. Kennedy PresidentialLibrary, 25-35 Morrissey Blvd. is in a section of Dorchester thatcould benefit from the pending repositioning of the BaysideExposition Center.

While that was not a factor in Synergy's interest, given thatthe $1-billion overhaul was just unmasked this week, Minnock saysthe project should only enhance the presence of 25-35 MorrisseyBlvd. "We do think that will be a great help, yes," she says.

Even so, the real driver —literally —in the sale was Synergyfounder David Greaney, who commutes from Dorchester past 25-35Morrissey Blvd. to the firm's North Station headquarters, explainsMinnock. When approached by brokers at CBRE/New England with theopportunity to buy the complex, Synergy's chief was already sold onthe property, according to Minnock.
