“My client owned the buildings since the mid-1990’s and has since accomplished a lot with these two assets,” Pierce said. “We went to market at an aggressive capitalization rate and got where we planned to land with minimal contingencies. My client has since retired, and we plan to transition him into a more passive, triple-net investment through Marcus & Millichap.”

 24-26 Fruit St. and 373-377 Pleasant St. are comprised of 17-units. The properties sold for an aggregate value of $1.14 million. “These two buildings were just around the corner from one another in the heart of local colleges and future development for Worcester. We went to market on behalf of the seller and were able to put both buildings under contract after one round of tours with a single buyer,” said Pierce.
