Natick, MA R.W. Holmes Realty Co., Inc., a leading, Massachusetts-based commercial real estate brokerage firm, has completed the sale of 245 West Central St., on behalf of the seller, Snap-On Corp., for $2.35 million. South Natick Partners, LLC, purchased the 44,950 s/f office/warehouse facility.

Craig Johnston, senior vice president at R.W. Holmes Realty, represented Snap-On, while Eric Brosler, owner of MetroWest Commercial Real Estate, LLC, represented South Natick Partners, LLC.

“Boasting a premier location in the MetroWest market with easy access to major roads, public transit, and nearby amenities, 245 West Central St. presented a valuable acquisition opportunity,” said Johnston. “The flexible working environment, large parking lot, and visibility from the road will be key factors when leasing the building, which is able to accommodate a variety of tenant types.”

Situated on 2.5 acres of land along Route 135, 245 West Central St. is equipped with four tailboard doors, one drive-in loading dock, and 100 parking spaces, making it an ideal setting for users requiring flex, R&D, or industrial space. The facility provides easy access to Rtes. 9 and 30, as well as the Massachusetts Turnpike, and sits just 18 miles from Logan International Airport. Additionally, West Natick Commuter Rail Station is located nearby, offering an ideal location for commuters.

Notably, South Natick Partners, LLC, has planned a capital improvement campaign to renovate 245 West Central St., and will occupy a portion of the facility.

Since 1976 R.W. Holmes Realty has assisted corporations and investor/developers with their local, national, and international real estate needs. R.W. Holmes specializes in property leasing, investment sales, tenant representation, consulting and asset management.
