Waltham, MA  Transwestern brokered the disposition of a three-building portfolio, for $14 million. Transwestern partner Chris Skeffington and vice president Roy Sandeman negotiated the sale on behalf of Taurus Investment Holdings and sourced the buyer, a joint venture between Parsada Ventures and KHS Management.

The buildings are located at 150 Bear Hill Rd., 335 Bear Hill Rd. and 300 Second Ave. in the Bear Hill Business Park and consist of 65,200 s/f of office, laboratory, and research and development space. Taurus Investment Holdings purchased the buildings in 2014 as part of an eight-building portfolio that included 60 and 69 Hickory Dr. and 255, 300, and 303 Bear Hill Rd.

“By successfully stabilizing and divesting this three-building portfolio, Taurus has made a strategic decision to focus on the remaining office buildings, which are well-positioned to capitalize on the strong leasing momentum in the Waltham office market,” said Skeffington. “Similarly, the buyers have acquired an attractive portfolio that positions them well as they expand their commercial presence in Greater Boston. The buildings will appeal to a variety of tenants in search of highly functional and flexible space that is centrally located in Waltham’s dynamic market.”

Bear Hill Business Park is located two miles from Rte. 128 and less than a half-mile from 1265 Main, a 280,000-s/f retail and office redevelopment located on the former Polaroid campus. The project is home to the domestic headquarters of Clarkes Shoes and features retailers such as Market Basket, Flank Restaurant, Starbucks, Marshalls and Not Your Average Joes.
