Quincy, MA The Hampshire Companies, a full-service, private real estate investment firm, has acquired an 84,360 s/f BJ’s Wholesale Club at 200 Crown Colony Dr. from Clarion Partners.  Located in a rapidly growing market outside of Boston, the acquisition provides Hampshire with a long-term investment providing significant flexibility for adaptive reuse options in the future.

“Our decision to acquire the Quincy BJ’s property is consistent with our strategy of acquiring high-performing stable, assets in growing markets,” said Robert Schmitt, a fund manager for The Hampshire Companies. “Its proximity to Boston and the surrounding areas, as well as the long-term viability of the current tenant and possible future uses as a mixed-use residential development, provide Hampshire with a well-positioned holding that will ensure long-term cash flows.”

The City of Quincy offers an attractive demographic profile with 11 multifamily housing projects which includes 3,186 units currently under construction or recently completed.
