Genesis Management Group will manage the two buildings that had been owner/occupied for 20 years. New Dover Inc. will represent Genesis Management Group for the lease up of both properties. Genesis will be making improvements to 20 Speen Street including a modernization of the Buildings lobby and tenant improvements to the Buildings' office suites. Robert King, Chief Investment Officer of Genesis Management Group is excited about this new investment. King said "the combination of income from 10 Speen Street and value offered at 20 Speen Street is difficult to find and we have been fortunate to create it here. The buildings fit the market really well and we look forward to bringing new space to the market at 20 Speen Street." Genesis is actively pursuing other investment opportunities.
