Binswanger recently completed the sale of a 588,868 s/f manufacturing and distribution building on 24 acres situated at 25 Tucker Dr. The sale price was $11.65 million. The property was formerly used by Plastican for manufacturing and distribution of plastic injection moldings. The sale represents one of the largest, modern, vacant buildings in excess of 580,000 s/f in the New England marketplace.
The facility has been purchased by Calare Properties, a real estate investment developer with a portfolio of over $600 million.
"It's was certainly a challenge to move a building of this size in these market conditions, but dealing with the folks at Calare Properties was an absolute pleasure. It is groups like Calare that should be credited with doing their part in this difficult economy by repositioning unused quality properties back on the market at a fair price. This offers companies the option to expand their operations locally rather than out of state, or worse overseas" said Tim O'Callaghan, executive vice president of Binswanger, who brokered the sale.
