RJ Kelly has purchased 805 Middlesex Tpke. for $5 million. The Cushman & Wakefield team, led by president Robert Griffin, vice chairman Edward Maher and executive director Matt Pullen, oversaw the transaction of the two-story office/flex building located in suburban Boston. 805 Middlesex Tpke. features 123,000 s/f of space and boasts large, efficient floor plates. Set on 8.7 acres, the property offers abundant parking with a ratio of 4 spaces per 1,000 square feet.805 Middlesex Turnpike is situated less than one mile from the Burlington border and provides excellent accessibility and desirable proximity to numerous retail amenities and regional demand generators, such as the Burlington Mall, Northwest Park and Lahey Clinic & Medical Center. "805 Middlesex Tpke. is well positioned to take advantage of the surging Burlington market and cater to today's high-tech firms," said Pullen.
