Marcus & Millichap completes $5.775 million
sale of 76,251 s/f industrial/office property

Acton, MA Marcus & Millichap completed the sale of a 76,251 s/f industrial and office property at 930 Main St. The asset sold for $5.775 million.

“When we first approached the seller, he had an offer that was more than 30% below where we ultimately closed. We advised bringing the property to market, and within the first two weeks we conducted over a dozen tours, generated multiple offers and created enough competition to push the final price $275,000 over asking,” said Luigi Lessa, director investments in Marcus & Millichap’s Boston office.

Lessa, along with Marcus & Millichap’s Harrison Klein and Mattias Edenkrans, represented the seller and procured the buyer.

“By running a competitive and transparent process, we secured a result that exceeded pricing expectations,” said Lessa. “Despite challenges with tenancy and below-market rents, the exposure allowed us to select the most qualified buyer. Working closely with the lender helped us navigate issues and ensure a smooth closing. The buyer, a local investor, will now stabilize the tenancy, bring rents to market, and create a long-term, cash-flowing asset.” 

“This sale is indicative of the interest we are seeing in well-located properties serving smaller tenants,” said Klein. “These properties continue to outperform as they remain unaffected by the glut of “big box” warehouse space in New England.”

Located on an 8.03-acre parcel, the seven-building campus includes about 61,700 s/f of warehouse space and 14,500 s/f of office space. The property has 11 drive-in doors, one loading dock, clear heights ranging from 16 to 20 ft., and 102 parking spaces. It is 3.5 miles from I-495 and four miles from Rtes. 2 and 111, providing access to Greater Boston and the Metro-Northwest corridor.

This may seem self-serving, and I’ll be the first to admit it. But unlike some of the artificial intelligence tools now reshaping our industry, I am fully aware of my own bias. So, hear me out. The rise of AI in commercial real estate is not a distant threat or a speculative headline.
