Good Harbor is a Boston commercial real estate company. We buy flex industrial, small-bay warehouse and neighborhood retail buildings from their owners, then lease and run them ourselves. Relationships, not transactions: these are the people you will deal with.
Call any of us directly. When you send an address, Chris Watson is your first call.

Health, money and time with family come first, for our team and for the owners we buy from.
We read, we listen and we practice, and we get a little better every deal.
No blame, no excuses. If something goes wrong on your sale, we fix it and tell you how.
Empty buildings, old roofs, short leases: we take them on, and we tell you plainly what we see.
Want to work with us? We hire people who take ownership and want to grow. Tell us about yourself.
Good Harbor is run from Boston by a team that comes from ten countries across the Americas, Europe and Asia.
