Bedford, NH NGKF Capital Markets has completed the sale of Hannaford | Bedford, to RK Centers for $14 million. Executive managing director Geoffrey Millerd, managing director Justin Smith, associate director Paul Penman and financial analyst Christian Brannelly of the NGKF Capital Markets Boston team, which is led by U.S. head of Capital Markets Robert Griffin, oversaw the transaction of the grocery-anchored asset on behalf of Eastern Real Estate in conjunction with NGKF executive managing director Richard Ruggiero.
Hannaford | Bedford - Bedford, NH“Long established as the dominant grocer in the Bedford market, Hannaford relocated from its smaller inline store along Rte. 3 to the subject property in order to take advantage of its superior location, larger size and standalone status,” said Smith. “The tenant has clearly demonstrated its long-term commitment to the property.”
Located along Rte. 3 at its signalized intersection with Kilton Rd., a key access road to Rte. 101 and I-293, Hannaford | Bedford is well positioned to draw traffic from each of these three major thoroughfares within the Bedford/Manchester retail market.
