Christie, McGee and Lieber of NAI Hunneman handle $8.7 million sale

131-157 Columbia Street - Cambridge, MA

Cambridge, MA NAI Hunneman, a leading provider of commercial real estate services, brokered the $8.7 million sale of a 23-unit multifamily portfolio located 131-157 Columbia St., 200 Harvard St., and 220-222 Prospect St. in the Central Sq. neighborhood of the city.

Executive vice president Carl Christie, assisted by assistant vice presidents Dan McGee and Henry Lieber represented the seller Columbia LLC and procured the buyer Columbia Prospect Family L.P.

“The sale drew significant interest from middle market investors, due to the rather rare opportunity to establish an ownership interest in one of the most sought after neighborhoods in Cambridge,” said Christie. “In the last 2 years there have only been 6 apartment sales in Cambridge over 20 units, almost all being larger institutional sales ranging from $30-$200 million. There have not been many comparable buying opportunities for assets of this size.”
