Keefe of GBCP, Inc. closes $3.65 million sale of 45,996 s/f office building in Walpole, MA

Walpole, MA James Keefe of Greater Boston Commercial Properties, Inc. (GBCP) represented the seller, Ellen Rosenfeld, in the sale of 2140 Providence Hwy. for $3.65 million. He was the sole broker of record in this transaction.

“James immediately went into action and took every step imaginable to get my building in front of as many potential buyers as possible,” said Rosenfeld. “The process was simplified through constant communication and collaboration, which culminated in a profitable sale of the property. All this while talks of a recession occupied the airwaves and interest rates were rising; not a friendly seller’s market, especially for office properties.”

“The professionalism, responsiveness and attention to detail made the entire buying process smooth,” said the buyer Roa Ronanki. “From the first showing to closing day, James and I talked regularly, and I always felt well informed and understood.”

2140 Providence Hwy. is home to The Bi-County Collaborative (BICO), a multi-purpose educational collaborative whose mission is to provide high-quality educational programming that addresses the needs of students with communication, emotional, health, intellectual, neurological, physical impairments, Autism and specific learning disabilities.

In this past year, James Keefe has completed over $25 million in sales and transacted on over 220,000 s/f of real estate.

Ask the Electrician: How do I prepare my commercial building for a disaster?

New England’s notorious weather – from fierce winter storms to summer squalls and fall hurricanes – can leave businesses in the dark. 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.
