“We continue to see investor interest in Lynn as occupancy and rental rates push record highs.” said Griffith. “As cap rates compress in the core areas, buyers are casting a wider net into different submarkets so they can achieve a higher return on their investment.”

The buildings were located at 8, 12, and 14 Chase St. and 87 Baker St. This portfolio consisted of an 18-unit building, two six-unit buildings and a nine-unit building. Each of the buildings was fully occupied at the time of sale.

“The buyer will be able to increase its return immediately by pushing the rents to conservative market rates” said Griffith.
