“We have had incredible success at 189 Wells Avenue and look forward to replicating our value-add model at 70 Wells Avenue,” said Jen Price, principal of Legacy Real Estate Ventures. “The Wingate Companies team, our lenders at Dedham Savings Bank and the Eastport Real Estate Services property managers have all contributed to the smooth ownership transition. We are grateful to Newmark for the opportunity.”
