It appears there are no publicly available traveler reviews or experiences for "Mack Trucks Helistop (US-10224) in Somerville, US." My search did not yield any information suggesting this is a public facility with traveler services or reviews in the typical sense of an airport or transportation hub. The search results primarily refer to bids for Mack Trucks by the City of Somerville and the "Mack Experience Center," which is a museum and showroom for the brand, not a helistop for public travel.
Therefore, it is not possible to summarize traveler sentiment, facility details, security, or transportation connections based on publicly accessible reviews.

Corporate Relocation. The helistop was closed following the decision by its owner and operator, Mack Trucks (a subsidiary of Volvo Group), to relocate its World Headquarters from the Bridgewater/Somerville, NJ site to Greensboro, North Carolina. The move was announced in August 2008 and completed in 2009, rendering the private helistop obsolete as the facility it served was shut down and subsequently sold.
The site has been completely redeveloped. The former Mack Trucks headquarters building and the associated helistop were demolished. The land is now occupied by a large retail and lifestyle center known as the 'Bridgewater Promenade'. The area where the helistop was located is now part of this commercial complex, which includes major tenants like Wegmans, Costco, and various other retail stores and restaurants.
The Mack Trucks Helistop (US-10224) was a private aviation facility located at the company's World Headquarters. Its primary and sole operation was to handle corporate helicopter flights. The helistop served as a crucial tool for executive transport, allowing key personnel, clients, and VIPs to travel efficiently between the headquarters, other corporate locations, and major regional airports like Newark (EWR) and Teterboro (TEB), bypassing significant ground traffic. Its existence was a symbol of corporate prestige and logistical efficiency for a major American industrial manufacturer during the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
There are no plans or prospects for reopening this helistop. The original corporate entity that operated it has permanently vacated the location, and the land has been fundamentally repurposed for large-scale retail use. Re-establishing a helipad at this site would be infeasible and is not under consideration.
