Boston-based Berkeley Investments has received final approval from the town of Watertown to convert the Chase Mills building into life science space.

Construction will begin this month including installation of new mechanical, electrical and plumbing equipment, improved air flow and energy efficiency upgrades and reinforced concrete floors will begin this month.
