O'Brien Commercial Properties sells 80 Harris St. for $1.71m

Eric O'Brien, president of O'Brien Commercial Properties, Inc. represented the seller, Mary and Morley Realty Trust of Acton in the $1.71 million sale of 80 Harris St. Allen and Susan Lush handled the sale of the property for their 93 year old father Morley Lush. Morley Lush operated his company in the 6,000 s/f office building on the 7.42-acre site up until his retirement. Since then a local engineering firm Stamski and McNary Inc. have leased the building as its corporate headquarters. Lush established six ANR lots at the property almost ten years ago, with the intent to develop or sell them individually and maximize the site; however, this industrial zoned property was later rezoned to North Acton Village which allowed high density residential development along with many commercial uses. The property was put on the market late last year and in a multiple bidder scenario was under agreement within 30 days. The property was finally sold recently to the Bentley Building Corp. which had won the bidding. They were represented by Keller Williams Real Estate. The property will be developed into 26 detached dwellings on two separate parcels each utilizing a shared septic system, according to Mark White, principal, Bentley Building Corp. The property was sold for $1.71 million and went on record May 7.
