“We are grateful to Freudenheim Partners for the fantastic opportunity to partner with Tracy Skelly and Little Cocoa Bean. Ellie and Chris always provide us with strategic guidance that reflects our shared commitment to the Museum’s long-term growth, community impact, and mission-driven success.”

- Carole Charnow, President & CEO of Boston Children’s Museum.

Freudenheim Partners advised the Boston Children’s Museum in structuring a strategic retail partnership with Little Cocoa Bean Co., a local, mission-driven food concept. The Museum sought a tenant that aligned with its values of community engagement and family-focused experiences, while activating a key space on its campus.

“The Freudenheim team understood our unique needs from day one. They guided us to a space that supports our students and mission. The transition was seamless.”

– Berklee Facilities Director

Freudenheim Partners represented Berklee in the relocation and lease negotiation of a 9,271 SF space in Boston’s Back Bay, transforming it into professional dance studios and a smoothie/Acai retail concept.

“We are thrilled to have worked closely with Freudenheim Partners to secure this pivotal site. Their expertise and dedication have been instrumental in laying the foundation for our first commercial scale-up in Holyoke, where we are excited to bring new clean manufacturing jobs as we scale production of our low-carbon cement.”

– Leah Ellis, CEO & Co-Founder, Sublime Systems

Freudenheim Partners successfully represented Sublime Systems in securing a 16-acre land lease in the Flats neighborhood of Holyoke, MA. The site, formerly home to paper mills and powered by the city’s hydroelectric grid, will be transformed into the first commercial facility for Sublime Cement™, a fossil-fuel-free, scalable alternative to traditional cement.

This transaction marks a major step in Sublime’s mission to decarbonize cement manufacturing. With production expected to begin in 2026, the Holyoke facility will produce tens of thousands of tons annually using a “true zero” process that avoids both fossil fuels and limestone decomposition, the primary sources of carbon emissions in traditional cement.

Freudenheim Partners guided Sublime through every phase of the site selection and leasing process, working closely with local and state officials to support Holyoke’s clean energy and economic revitalization goals.

“FP CRE understood our vision for a world-class facility and found the perfect space in Natick. Their guidance throughout the leasing process made what could have been a daunting project incredibly smooth. Thanks to their efforts, we now have a location that not only meets but exceeds our expectations, allowing us to offer our clients an unmatched fitness experience.”

— DJ Bosse, CEO and Cofounder

Freudenheim Partners represented Bosse Pickleball LLC in securing a transformative 97,455 SF lease at the Natick Mall, converting the former Neiman Marcus building into a flagship pickleball and entertainment destination. Originally positioned for lab re-use, the site will now be home to 21 top-tier pickleball courts, training zones, event lounges, therapy spaces, and a high-end restaurant led by Boston chef Chris Coombs. Opening Fall 2024, the project sets a new national standard for luxury and sport integration.

Freudenheim Partners led the effort from vision to execution, aligning Bosse with landlord The Bulfinch Companies in a 10-year lease that unlocks unmatched potential in one of New England’s most iconic retail settings.

In 2024, the project was recognized with the Retail Deal of the Year award, underscoring its impact on both the industry and the community.
