Dunne, Bardsley, Neuer, Gavin and Langer of CBRE broker $15 million sale

450 Post Road East - Westport, CT

Westport, CT CBRE brokered the $15 million sale of 450 Post Rd. East, a 35,777 s/f class A office building. The team of Jeffrey Dunne, Steven Bardsley, Jeremy Neuer, David Gavin and Travis Langer of CBRE’s Institutional Properties Group represented the seller, EWKAI Post Road Properties LLC, the entity managed by Earle W. Kazis Associates, Inc. CBRE also procured the buyer, WFF Post Rd., LLC, which is owned by Waterway Family Funds LLC, a division of Waterway Partners LLC and an affiliate of Waterway Capital LLC.

One hundred percent leased to two tenants including Wells Fargo for 88% of the property, 450 Post Rd. East is situated along Rte. 1 adjacent to Trader Joe’s, a Wells Fargo bank branch and Soul Cycle and less than two miles from retail and dining options in downtown.

“Westport attracts many financial institutions and wealth management offices due to the high-net-worth clientele in the area,” said Dunne of CBRE. “Westport’s office market is extremely tight with less than 5% vacancy and high barriers to entry which is further buoyed by the phenomenal migration into Connecticut. These positive market dynamics bode well for Waterway’s investment.”

While power outages are often blamed on storms, they can also be caused by unforeseen events like accidents or construction mishaps. While it’s impossible to prevent disasters and power outages entirely, proactive preparation can significantly minimize their impact on your commercial building.

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.
