Windsor, VT Marcus & Millichap completed the sale of Price Chopper Plaza, a 30,674 s/f grocery-anchored shopping center, for $2.35 million.

Mark Krantz, associate, and Derrick Dougherty, first vice president investments in Marcus & Millichap’s Philadelphia office, had the exclusive listing to market the property on behalf of the seller, Gary Richetelli of Commercial Development Company based in Orange, Conn.  The buyer, a real estate investment firm based out of Pittsburg, was secured and represented by the pair as well. Jeffrey Nick is the firm’s broker of record for Vermont.

“With extreme barriers to entry in this market, the Price Chopper Plaza is a highly successful asset,” Krantz said. “In today’s retail environment, grocery-anchored shopping centers continue to demand premium pricing.”
