Massirio and Berkowitz of OR&L broker $1.4 million industrial sale
Southington, CT O,R&L Commercial has completed the sale of a 5,512 s/f industrial building on 4.37 acres located at 1198 West St. for $1.4 million.
Luke Massirio of O,R&L Commercial represented the seller, John Keegan of Engineered Construction LLC. The buyer, Superior Equipment and Supplies of Southington, was procured by Mark Berkowitz, also of O,R&L Commercial. The property generated strong interest immediately upon listing and went under contract shortly thereafter following multiple competitive offers.
A key driver of value was the site’s ample outside storage capacity, a highly sought-after feature in today’s market where demand significantly outweighs supply. The sale aligned well with both parties’ objectives: the seller was preparing for retirement, while Superior will utilize the property for its ongoing business operations.
O,R&L Commercial, LLC with offices in Branford and Rocky Hill represents landlords, tenants, sellers and buyers in the office, retail, medical, multi-family, investment and industrial markets.

Repeatable routine in commercial real estate - by Daniel Gardner
For some context, I quit a perfectly good salary-and-benefits job with roughly $500 to my name. Looking back, it was either incredibly brave or one of the worst financial decisions of my life. Fortunately, it worked out. Remember, I have a real estate license now in addition to that $500, and I was now working as a rental agent in Newton Centre.
