Cushman & Wakefield completed the sale of One and Two Executive Dr. for $23.45 million to Novaya Real Estate Ventures, LLC. One and Two Executive Dr. is an institutional-quality, two-building office campus, located in suburban Boston. The property totaling 225,334 s/f sits on 16 acres near the intersection of I-495 and Rte. 3. Cushman & Wakefield's capital markets team of Robert Griffin, Edward Maher, and Matthew Pullen exclusively represented the seller. In addition to the sale, Cushman & Wakefield's leasing team led by Matt Adams, Torin Taylor, Rich Ruggiero and Rory Walsh have been appointed exclusive leasing agents for both properties. "One & Two Executive Dr. presented Novaya with the unique opportunity to purchase an asset with strong tenancy in a submarket that continues to be a hub for the most successful companies in technology, defense and medical device in New England" said Peter Carbone of Novaya. Currently, One and Two Executive Dr. is 97% leased to a blue chip tenant roster that includes Rockwell Automation, Captivate Networks (Gannet), L-3 Communications and Conmed Endoscopic Technologies. "The asset, purchased at a low basis and discount to replacement cost was a great opportunity for Novaya to purchase a best-in-class office space," said Griffin.
