McLaughlin solicited the off-market acquisition on behalf of Vernet Props., as buyer-broker, and Belknap Realty, seller, was represented by in-house counsel.
“Shaw’s supermarket is the anchor tenant and master leases 38,500 s/f of the center of which Job Lots, Planet Fitness, Clear Choice Medical Clinic, Joann Fabric, Verizon Cellular, Super Cuts, Dunkin and other national and regional tenants occupy as well.
McLaughlin indicated Belknap Mall is one of two Shaw’s anchored shopping centers that are owned by Vernet Properties within the state, including other holdings such as the Raymond Shopping Plaza and Tuckaway Tavern.
