–A.W. Perry Announces Expansion of Wash Cycle Laundry, company dedicated to second-chance hiring—
Lynn, MA-May XX, 2025—Perry Lynnway LLC, a joint venture of A.W. Perry and Foxfield, is pleased to announce the expansion of tenant Wash Cycle at Lynnway Park, along with the completion of significant capital investments to the project on the Lynn waterfront.
The redevelopment of the former Garelick Farms Plant continues to show strong momentum as 160,000 square feet of space has now been successfully leased at 680 and 626 Lynnway, leaving just 40,000 square feet of second floor maker space available. This available space is equipped with heavy-duty electrical infrastructure, offering ample power capacity to support high-energy use operations. In addition to the existing buildings, the site includes 10 acres of development land fronting on Circle Ave.
In 2021, the former West Lynn Creamery and Garelick Farms was rebranded as Lynnway Park by Perry Lynnway, and manager A.W. Perry. Since then, the team has undertaken improvements to the site, including façade enhancements and the removal of the unsightly tanks from the former wastewater treatment plant, and various cosmetic changes to enhance the overall area. Lynnway Park is rapidly emerging as a key industrial hub on the North Shore.
“Lynn is a fantastic city, and we’re proud to have made meaningful changes to the site in collaboration with the city and the community,” said Robert King. “Wash Cycle’s expansion is exciting on multiple fronts—it completes the leasing cycle for the property, and it marks continued growth for an employer committed to making a positive impact in the community.”
Wash Cycle Laundry, which provides commercial and hotel laundry services for global airline and hotel brands, has expanded its lease from 24,441 square feet to 44,000 square feet. This growing company who has tripled its workforce in the last two years, is dedicated to what is called ‘second-chance’ hiring. Since the business began, Wash Cycle has consistently recruited and hired individuals with backgrounds of homelessness, substance abuse and other significant sources of life disruption.
Community Partnerships
In the summer of 2024 addition, A.W. Perry collaborated with tenant GPC and Beyond Walls, a beloved nonprofit whose mission is to introduce public art and curated experiences into the fabric of communities. The group commissioned artist Mr. June to design and implement an amazing mural at Lynnway Park.
Perry Lynnway received the Greater Lynn Chamber of Commerce Pride Award in part because of its ‘I Love Lynn’ sign at the corner of Day Street and the Lynnway. The award was recognized by the Lynn City Council, the Mayor of Lynn and the Massachusetts Senate and House of Representatives.
Lynnway Park is included in the City of Lynn’s Waterfront Master Plan. Lynn Harbor Park, a 33-acre water-front park and recreation center is adjacent to 0 Circle Ave. and will open in the Summer of 2025 adjacent to Lynnway Park to the east. A.W. Perry purchased Lynnway Park, 626 and 680 Lynnway and 0 Circle Avenue in Lynn, Massachusetts in December of 2020.
