Evan Griffith, Marcus & MillichapThe first property was 2 Granite St., a seven-unit apartment property located in Malden, which sold for $650,000. The second was 46-50 Blue Hill Ave., a nine-unit mixed-use building located in the Roxbury section of Boston, for $1.63 million.
Evan Griffith, a senior associate in Marcus & Millichap’s Boston office, had the exclusive listing to market the properties on behalf of the sellers who are private investors. The buyers, also private investors, were procured by Griffith.
“Roxbury continues to be one of the hottest submarkets poised for redevelopment and strong rental growth” said Griffith. “We are seeing more and more developers realize the upside and long term value of the once overlooked neighborhoods. The activity levels were tremendous on both properties given the lack of deliverable product available in the marketplace. This, combined with the extremely favorable lending environment, enabled us to deliver clean non-contingent offers on these properties.”
