Farrelly, Johnson and Dancoes of Cushman & Wakefield broker $6.6 million building sale

Nashua, NH Cushman & Wakefield has completed the sale of 472 Amherst St. for the building’s owner, BSP Cotton Road, LLC, an entity related to Brady Sullivan Properties. The property was purchased by Pinnacle Properties, a privately held real estate investment firm, for $6.6 million. Pinnacle Properties plans to redevelop and upgrade the property to address the increased demand for flex and service retail space.

Situated on 7.68 acres, 472 Amherst St. is made up of two single-story multi-tenant flex buildings totaling 98,595 s/f. The complex is accessible from the F.E. Everett Tpke./Rte. 3 via Exits 7, 8, 10 and 11 and offers visibility from Rte. 101A.

The property is 10 minutes from the Mass. border, and less than an hour from downtown Boston and Logan International Airport. The Nashua Airport and downtown Nashua are close to the development. 472 Amherst St. boasts a number of amenities in the area including restaurants, hotels, daycare, healthcare and fitness services, financial institutions and retail.

Executive director Tom Farrelly, director Sue Ann Johnson, and senior director Denis Dancoes of Cushman & Wakefield working with Charles Panasis, Ben Kelley and James Tobin of Brady Sullivan Properties represented BSP Cotton Road.

“472 Amherst Street was designed to be divisible into 3,000 square foot, 16’ clear bays with each unit having its own tailboard loading dock. This exceptional property enables tenants to customize their space to fit each tenant’s unique needs,” said Farrelly of Cushman & Wakefield. “We believe this development is ideal for those looking for an accessible service / retail / industrial / flex space that meets the needs of a variety of occupiers. It was a pleasure working with BSP Cotton Road LLC and Pinnacle Properties during this transaction.”
