Strategic Location
One Summer Street is centrally located in Boston. Markley strategically selected the property for conversion because of its unmatchable location with abundant and reliable power. Also, no competing property has such an advantage in terms of fiber connectivity with eight redundant fiber entrances. The proximity to all major fiber routes provides a centralized location where all fiber backbones and other providers can meet, connect and exchange data and voice traffic over their networks, unlike anywhere else in the New England area.
