Pfizer plans to demolish a vacant 80,000-square foot facility, the Building 185 Complex, on its western campus at 445 Eastern Point Road. Pfizer said in a statement that the building is obsolete and serves no further useful purpose, with demolition planned for later this year. Fuss & O’Neill representatives wrote in the application that despite a year of marketing the building complex, it “has failed to attract interest due to its limited market appeal and lack of operational purpose,” and demolition is the only viable option. “Renovation is not a practical solution, as the building’s constrained size and location cannot accommodate the extensive upgrades required to meet Pfizer’s current campus needs,” they wrote. Pfizer said once the administrative filings are complete, the Groton property will be restricted to commercial or industrial use. Pfizer said that if a future owner wants to release those restrictions, the state would require additional remediation to meet the standards for residential or unrestricted use of the property.
