Fully Entitled Tier-11 Cannabis Cultivation & Production Site (MA)

Location

Central Massachusetts
The site is positioned as part of a community-integrated development initiative intended to support economic renewal and job creation in the region

Business Description

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a fully permitted, near shovel-ready cannabis cultivation and production project in Central Massachusetts. This offering has been intentionally developed to remove one of the biggest barriers in the sector: the 30–36 month regulatory approval cycle.

The project is structured to allow a buyer to step into a fully approved pathway and potentially reach cultivation operations in 6–18 months, subject to construction and final regulatory sign-off.

At the core of the opportunity is a Tier-11 cultivation and production designation (the highest allowed under MA law) and an approved multi-stage facility plan enabling scalable expansion over time.

Key Highlights

• Tier-11 Cultivation & Production (Max Allowed in Massachusetts)
• Provisional License Granted (July 2023), renewed annually and currently active
• All major local approvals secured (municipal approvals, zoning, permits) and fully assignable at purchase
• Approved cultivation footprint supports up to 100,000 sq. ft. canopy with expansion potential up to 255,000 sq. ft. build-out (integrated cultivation, production & processing)
• 24.4-acre unimproved parcel acquired with option to purchase 3 additional parcels; recorded lots and ownership rights to recorded engineering included
• Structured staged development plan included; Stage 0 substantially complete

Assets Included in Sale
This opportunity is best described as a licensed & entitled cannabis development asset, rather than an operating cultivation business today.

Included:

• Real estate asset: 24.4-acre parcel (unimproved)
• Transferable approvals & permits (local regulatory milestones completed)
• Tier-11 license pathway (provisional license active; final license issued after construction and site approval)
• Approved building plan + special permit
• Host Community Agreement in place and current
• Multi-stage design and development plan transfers with acquisition

Development Plan (Summary for Buyers)
The project is structured for staged scale-up:

Stage 1:

• Development of a 32,400 sq. ft. cultivation facility and a 15,000 sq. ft. support/processing facility including drying, packaging/mfg, shipping/receiving, admin, etc

Stage 2 / 3 (Expansion):

• Migration to an indoor cultivation footprint with staged build-out toward a 100,000 sq. ft. canopy facility, plus additional manufacturing/admin space in later phases.

Employees
Currently at a pre-operations stage (Stage 0 / development).
The plan projects job creation scaling through later stages, with long-term workforce growth into the hundreds as the facility expands.

Investment Rationale

Most cannabis operators face prolonged timelines driven by permitting and regulatory sequencing. This project offers a rare chance to acquire a de-risked entitlement and licensing position, potentially saving years of regulatory work and enabling faster market entry under Massachusetts’ constrained licensing environment.
