(PRWEB) July 15, 2005 -- The Hampshire Companies, a full service, private real estate investment fund manager with equity in assets valued at over $1 billion, today announced the disposition of a 64,000 square foot retail building at 650-B Memorial Drive in Chicopee, MA. The sale, valued at approximately $4.16 million, was made through The Hampshire Generational Fund.

The 650-B Memorial Drive building is a free-standing retail building, fully-leased to Big Y World Class Market under a long-term lease. It is within a larger retail development in a dynamic suburban location, and is co-anchored by a BJs Wholesale Club.
Although this is a superior property in a superb location, it did not fit strategically into our overall investment strategy at the present time," commented Norman A.
