Boston Realty Advisors completes sale of 6-building office portfolio at Southwest Park for $13.4 million

Southwest Park, Westwood, MA Southwest Park, Westwood, MA

Westwood, MA Boston Realty Advisors (BRA) has completed the final sale of a six-building office portfolio at Southwest Park. The portfolio totaling 102,183 s/f was sold in six separate transactions and involved six different buyers, five of whom intend to occupy all or a portion of the office space. The average price per square foot for the portfolio was $131 per s/f with an aggregate sale price of $13.4 million. The seller, MARIC, Inc., was represented by Jeremy Freid, Adam Meixner, Jordan Sneider and Tyler Griffin of BRA’ suburban team for all of the transactions.

MARIC, a Needham-based owner, manager and developer, acquired the office building portfolio for $104 per s/f in 2007. When plans for a mixed-use redevelopment project didn’t materialize, MARIC engaged BRA to sell the assets.

“With varying lease expirations over the last 18 months, our approach for the disposition of the portfolio was to strategically target end-user buyers. Given the lack of quality owner-user inventory within the Central 128 market, Southwest Park was a tremendous opportunity for owner-occupants,” said Freid, managing director and senior partner who led the sales efforts.

BRA represented both the seller and the buyer on the final sale of an 18,000 s/f building at 21-25 SWP to Scott Ravelson for $1.935 million. Colliers International and New Dover Associates acted as the buyer’s broker for two of the transactions.

Investing in a falling rate environment - by Harrison Klein

Long-term interest rates have fallen by 100 basis points, and the market is normalizing. In December of 2022 I wrote an article about investing in a high interest rate, high inflation market. Since then, inflation has cooled off, and the Fed has begun lowering their funds rate.

The industrial markets have never been stronger. What has happened is that the build out of Devens with new high-tech biotech manufacturing with housing to service these buildings serves as the connector required to really make the I-495 West market sizzle. Worcester has been the beneficiary
