Report
I would caution anyone considering leasing space from Cummings Properties. Don't do it! You will regret it! I lease a prime Washington Street location and have done so for 10 years. I recently asked Management to help us as a result of the impact of COVID-19. Cummings response of course only benefited themselves, and was clear evidence of the fact that Cummings Properties is only motivated by greed.
And they do this cloaked in their philanthropic work. What you see, is not what you get. Cummings response below is filled with misrepresentation of the facts. My review and warning to potential tenants remains as written.

I want to rewrite my review on Cummings as a follow up if I could not remove my old review which was posted with my initial frustration. After good faith discussion about our situation with the sublease, Cummings Property was fairly reasonable and willing to refund our security deposit and I am happy with the solution.

Locating our business at Cummings in 1999 has been a great decision that has played out many times over close to two decades. First they are very small business friendly and provide a wonderful opportunity to share and grow. We've gone through several up-sizes and down-sizes in space all of which done professionally and successfully. Service and maintenance response have no comparison. Staff and crew are like an army that keeps the business environment clean, safe and accessible. It's a wonderfully fun place to come to work everyday.

Cummings properties have been life savers for us. We were in a bit of a pinch and needed a spot for our business. We met Molly and she took great care of us. She showed us plenty of options and was always ready to help. Our favorite thing about her was her "anything-is-possible" approach to our needs. She accommodated us in a VERY timely manner and met or exceeded all of our expectations. We really are happy with the service!
