Aho of O'Brien Commercial Properties sells 85 Hayes Memorial Dr. for $2.1 million

Joel Aho, senior associate at O'Brien Commercial Properties recently represented the buyer in the acquisition of 85 Hayes Memorial Dr. The 28,000 s/f building is located on 1.99 acres of industrial zoned land, and it was a fully occupied investment property at the time of the sale.

Senior vice president Wayne Spiegel and associates William Lynch and Timothy O'Brien of Colliers Meredith & Grew represented the seller, EPP Real Estate, LLC
