Carl Valeri, president of Hamilton Company, noted that, with the acquisition of Captain Arms, Hamilton now controls 600 units of housing in the Lexington, Winchester and Arlington communities.

“These well-developed, managed and maintained buildings will continue to meet the moderate-priced housing needs of the residents in Lexington and the surrounding communities,” said Valeri.

“The deal illustrates how hot the multifamily market is, especially for value-add multifamily units within Route 128, from the inner suburbs of Somerville to Lexington,” said Lawrence Goldstein, senior vice president, NAI Hunneman. “Buyers are finding historically low interest rates, and in this competitive market Captain Parker Arms saw about 25 bids.”

The Hamilton Company, Inc., founded in 1954 by Harold Brown, is one of the largest privately-owned, full-service real estate companies in Massachusetts with more than $1.7 billion in total assets. Hamilton currently owns in excess of 6,000 rental units and three million square feet of commercial property throughout eastern Mass.
