Cushman & Wakefield completed the $5.568 million sale of 30 Mill St., a 116-unit apartment community that is to be built at the site of the former Brigham's Ice Cream facility.
Cushman & Wakefield's capital markets group, including Simon Butler, Biria St. John, Michael Byrne and John McLaughlin, exclusively represented the seller, CSB Transaction LLC and procured the buyer, W.P. East Acquisitions, LLC, an affiliate of Wood Partners of Atlanta. Construction financing for the project is being provided by Cambridge Savings Bank.
30 Mill St. is a development site approved for the construction of 116 apartments. The site consists of a 3.9 acres, located in Arlington Center off of Mass. Ave. The property consists of an existing 85,000 s/f office and warehouse facility that is to be demolished to make way for the new five-story podium structure that is to be built. The development will also include a 3,500 s/f commercial building that will front on Mill St.
Also 15% of the apartments will be set aside to residents earning up to 70% of the area median income as defined by HUD.
The property's location allows for access to downtown Boston, and Rtes. 2, 2A, 3, I-93 and I-95. The property also has access to public transportation via the MBTA bus and train. In addition, the property has numerous retail amenities located in Arlington Center, along Mass. Ave. and in neighboring Cambridge. Local retail amenities include a Stop & Shop, Trader Joe's and Whole Foods.
One of the biggest selling features of the property is its frontage on the Minuteman Bikeway, which is an old rail line that has been converted to a walking, biking and running trail, connecting residents to Cambridge to the east and Lexington and Bedford to the west. It is one of the most heavily utilized rail-trails in the country.
