Jamieson, Smith and Borden of JLL broker $7.3m sale for New Boston Fund
Jones Lang LaSalle's (JLL) investment sales team has executed the $7.3 million sale of 10 Industrial Ave. RAM Management Co. purchased the 84,000 s/f industrial/flex building from New Boston Fund. JLL represented the seller and procured the buyer in the transaction.
The JLL team on this assignment included managing directors Scott Jamieson and Michael Smith, and associate Rob Borden.
The single story building is fully leased to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). It is located just off Rte. 129, less than two miles from Rte. 3 and I-95. 10 Industrial Ave. was built for the VA in 2004. The VA recently expanded into the entire building.
"This sale demonstrates that well-leased and well-located assets remain in strong demand from investors. New Boston Fund strategically held the asset until the VA expanded into 100% of the premises, and the investment market response was quite competitive," said Jamieson.
"10 Industrial fits well into our current portfolio. It is a strategically located, five year old building that provides us strong tenancy and cash flow. RAM's goal at this stage in the economy is to continue to acquire stable, cash flowing property with good lease term. We are traditionally conservative investors and will continue to operate in that manner," said Brian Gagne, executive vice president of acquisitions and development.

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.
The industrial markets have never been stronger. What has happened is that the build out of Devens with new high-tech biotech manufacturing with housing to service these buildings serves as the connector required to really make the I-495 West market sizzle. Worcester has been the beneficiary
