Greenfield, MA CBRE has completed a sale leaseback of two auto dealerships in Auburn and Greenfield, Mass. on behalf of Lundgren Honda, a family owned and operated Honda dealership. Lundgren Honda and Lundgren Equity Partners, an affiliated real estate company, sold 163 Washington St. in Auburn and 409 Federal St. in Greenfield to Exton, PA-based Legacy Automotive Capital for $26.2 million. Legacy Automotive Capital is solely focused on acquiring the real estate of new car franchise dealerships throughout the United States.

CBRE senior vice president Karly Iacono represented Lundgren Equity Partners and Lundgren Honda in the negotiations, and also procured the buyer.

“We conducted a competitive bid process and were able to maximize the proceeds for the seller while creating a stable passive income stream for the buyer,” said Iacono. “Indicative of the strength and expansion of the net lease market, offers were sourced from REITs, institutions, funds, and private clients.”
