PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The 1926 Burlington Rail and Commerce Building is a 4-story structure listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Located at the hub of the historic Rail and Commerce District, the building was originally the Burlington Mail Terminal and is one of several historically-significant buildings undergoing revitalization as part of a $100 million capital improvement effort.

The modernized building will include office and retail spaces and feature an entire floor dedicated to accommodating up to 90 businesses in a highly-collaborative incubator-type environment dubbed “Commerce Village.”
