What was your most notable project, deal, or transaction in 2016? - John Parsons of SVN|Parsons

The sale of a 19.97 acre parcel on Rte. 140 in Franklin, Mass. to Wood Partners for $7.84 million for the construction of 280 apartments.

The land was zoned industrial, and we suggested the highest and best use for the site would be multifamily.

Our client achieved a sale price that was a substantial multiple of what the property would have sold for as an industrial parcel.
