CIM Group purchases six-story, 114,000 s/f office building at 95 Berkeley St.

Boston, MA CIM Group purchased the six-story, 114,000-s/f office building at 95 Berkeley St. in the South End. CIM made this acquisition with Boston-based Center Court Mass, LLC (CCM). Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Constructed in 1920 and last renovated in 1988, the cast-in-place and poured concrete building offers high ceiling heights and oversized windows creating an abundance of “light and air” as well as a below-grade parking structure. The building is situated at the corner of Berkeley and Chandler Sts., amid the South End’s abundant entertainment options, including many restaurants, bars, galleries and boutiques and steps away from the Back Bay business district. 95 Berkeley also offers immediate access to public transportation located just blocks away from Back Bay Station.

95 Berkeley St. is CIM’s first investment in the South End. CIM has been involved in the Boston area for more than 10 years, when it identified the community as possessing the attributes that fit its investment discipline, a proven methodology that focuses on established and emerging urban areas with solid infrastructure and transportation networks.
