Bongiorni of SR Commercial Realty brokers $1.155 million sale of historic mill building
Wilbraham, MA Paul Bongiorni of SR Commercial Realty was the sole agent in the sale of a mill-style industrial property at 176 Cottage Ave.

The building was built circa 1876 and has 199,533 s/f of usable area, according to public record. The sale price was $1.155 million.
