D'Addabbo of New England Retail Properties sells Tractor Supply site
April 14, 2011 - Connecticut
New England Retail Properties, Inc., has brokered the sale of the Tractor Supply property located on Rte. 6. The property was developed by Windham Crossing, LLC, an affiliate of New England Retail Properties, Inc. in 2009 specifically for Tractor Supply Company. Mark D'Addabbo, president of New England Retail Properties, Inc., represented Windham Crossing, LLC and Leonard Mazzone represented the purchaser, a New Jersey investment group. Rte. 6 is the major east/west road between Hartford and Providence. This section of Rte. 6 is also home to other national retailers, Home Depot, Super WalMart, Aldi, Ruby Tuesday, Advance Auto, and others which was one of the compelling reasons the purchasers sought to acquire this property.
