Christie and McGee of NAI Hunneman sell 33,219 s/f for $2.6 million
West Roxbury, MA NAI Hunneman brokered the $2.6 million sale of 1455-1457 VFW Parkway. The 33,219 s/f retail property is located on the southbound side of the VFW Parkway.
Executive vice president Carl Christie and assistant vice president Dan McGee represented the seller Fisher VFW, LLC, and procured the buyer.
“The seller was a long-term owner that was moving on from the property while the new buyer plans to partially occupy space in the plaza,” said McGee. “There were numerous groups interested in this site including owner-users and developers. Out of the multiple offers we received, we were able to find the best fit for the seller in terms of both price and conditions.”
Offering direct frontage along the VFW Parkway and the Charles River, the site is improved with four commercial buildings built in stages between the 1940s and 1970s. The buildings contain 33,219 s/f and are occupied by Party City and Lumber Liquidators. This southbound location on VFW Parkway offers a high traffic count for retail businesses. The property was the original first store for both Lumber Liquidators and iParty before iParty sold to Party City in 2013.
