Mansfield, MA CBRE arranged the sale of an 81,596 s/f light industrial building located at 120 Forbes Blvd. Brickman acquired the asset for $17.63 million. 

The CBRE team of Scott Dragos, Chris Skeffington, Doug Jacoby, Anthony Hayes, Roy Sandeman, Tim Mulhall, and Dan Hines spearheaded the marketing campaign and arranged the sale on behalf of the seller, QS Forbes Boulevard, LLC.

The industrial site is also located within 20 miles of Providence and 30 miles of Boston, making it one of the most accessible sites in the region. 

“After purchasing the asset over 15 years ago, QS Forbes Boulevard decided to take advantage of today’s booming industrial market, and we are thrilled to have played a part in that process,” said Sandeman. “Brickman is acquiring a multi-tenanted, cash-flowing, single-story asset in one of the strongest master-planned industrial parks in Greater Boston. Both the seller and buyer were an absolute pleasure to work with.”
