Biette and Amabile of Grubb & Ellis handle six acre sale to The Congress Grp.
Grubb & Ellis Co. brokered the sale of 125 Pennsylvania Ave. to The Congress Grp. for $6.4 million. G&E's Anthony Biette, VP, Investment Group, and Hank Amabile, senior VP, Office Group, represented Evergreen Packaging.
The 85,000 s/f facility is on six acres and served as a manufacturing facility before it was sold to Evergreen Packaging.
The Congress Grp. purchased the property with plans to combine it with two adjacent sites. Together, the three parcels total 10 acres. Preliminary plans include the potential development of 300,000 s/f of office/R&D space.
"Every major developer in the region was attracted to the site given its signature location overlooking the Mass. Turnpike," said Biette. About Grubb & Ellis
