Leading the Way in Dynamic, Smart Growth Shopping Center Development in Eastern Massachusetts Since 1974

The mission of Bierbrier Development is to develop, manage and own quality shopping centers and mixed-use properties in dense suburban New England communities.

Today, Bierbrier Development has developed and owns prominent centers throughout Massachusetts: Walgreens Plaza in Haverhill, Arlington Village Shops in Arlington, Wellington Circle Plaza in Medford, and Super Stop & Shop Plaza, in Brockton. Bierbrier recently completed the renovation of Wellington Circle Plaza and will double the size of Arlington Village Shops, in 2009. It is now in the pre-development stage for numerous new projects in Eastern New England..

A Record of Success in Permitting Ground-Up Development and Adaptive Re-Use of Existing Properties.

Whether the project requires development from the ground-up or it is an adaptive re-use of an existing property, Bierbrier Development has the expertise and resources to ensure the project's acceptance by the local community, and its ultimate success for its retail tenants.

Over the past 33 years, Bierbrier has developed significant experience in solving traffic and environmental issues, as well as successfully addressing rezoning, land assembly and concerns of abutters and neighborhood associations. By working with various stakeholders, and meeting with neighborhood groups in the pre-development phases, Bierbrier has developed a strong record of effectively resolving community issues. Part of this success comes from an important emphasis on design. Bierbrier centers are designed to scale and blend aesthetically with the character of the community where permits are sought.

Developing with Close Attention to Smart Growth Guidelines

As a developer of properties in dense suburban areas, Bierbrier Development follows the principles of "smart growth" development. Integral to the planning process are such considerations as the use of existing infrastructure; building concentrated developments; the restoration of the environment; and the conservation of natural resources.

A Solid Company with Enduring Lender Relationships

Bierbrier's record of achievement in all aspects of development and management, together with its strong asset base and liquidity, have provided excellent access to capital from such financial institutions as John Hancock, Teachers, and Sun Life, as well as various Wall Street firms.
