North Andover, MA Marcus & Millichap, a leading commercial real estate brokerage firm specializing in investment sales, financing, research and advisory services, completed the sale of a 30,855 s/f flex/industrial building located at 45 Beechwood Dr., for $4.85 million.
“This transaction highlights the strength of owner-users in today’s market,” said Mattias Edenkrans, associate. “This deal generated strong interest from investor groups and business owners alike and ultimately sold to a local company, which plans to expand its growing operation into this property.”

Built in 1997, the building features 11,500 s/f of office space and 19,355 s/f of warehouse space, with two loading docks, one drive-in bay, and 14-ft. clear heights. The property is situated on a 5.01-acre lot with parking and is partially leased to Tower Engineering Professionals.
