The Boston office of Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) has closed the sale of a 108,510 s/f BJ's Wholesale Club and arranged the acquisition financing. HFF's Coleman Benedict and Ben Sayles exclusively represented the seller, National Development, and procured the 1031 exchange buyer in the $13.667 million, off-market transaction. HFF senior managing director Fred Wittmann subsequently secured a $7.5 million, fixed-rate acquisition loan through Flagship Bank. The property was constructed in 2000 and BJ's occupies the facility under the terms of a long-term lease.
