“Both tenants were drawn to the building’s first-class and efficient space, along with its prime location directly off a major highway (I-95),” said Minnerly. “In a constrained market it’s becoming harder to find space of this quality, and there is still an additional 19,592 s/f available in an adjacent building at the property–a rare find with today’s market conditions.”

Located off I-95, 625 University Ave. is set in a popular commercial area adjacent to a wealth of area amenities including Westwood Station.

The property at 625 University Av. offers tailboard as well as drive-in loading, 21’ - 54’ clear heights, generous column spacing and excellent utilities. The property is owned by a joint venture formed by Hackman Capital Partners, Calare Properties and KBS Real Estate Investment Trust. The property was purchased in 2007 as part of an 11.36 million s/f portfolio. Hackman Capital Partners manages the property.
