Business owners along Needham Street suffered a tough day on Wednesday, July 16th when a water main burst on the Route 9 side at about 9:00am, first flooding and then buckling that portion of the Street. Many businesses were shut down due to this emergency and I can speak personally by saying that as a commercial real estate broker, office buildings along the Needham Street corridor were not accessible for tours with prospective Tenants. Boston Realty Advisors represents two buildings along the Needham Street corridor affected by this water break.
