218,258-Square-Foot Lease Renewal Completed with Home Depot in Norwood, Massachusetts
Boston, MA (PRWEB) September 25, 2016 -- Hackman Capital Partners, LLC of Los Angeles and Calare Properties of Hudson, Massachusetts announced today the completion of a long-term, 218,259-square-foot lease renewal with Home Depot at 625 University Ave in Norwood. The renewal is an essential piece to the long-term stabilization of the property, and complements two other recently completed transactions. Earlier this year PODS and ASD Lighting signed significant leases, totaling 221,605 square feet, bringing the 439,863-square foot building to full occupancy and creating a solid tenant roster for the landlord.
NAI Hunneman Executive Vice President Cathy Minnerly and Vice President Ovar Osvold represented the landlord, while Bob Gibson & Tony Kepano (Atlanta office) from CBRE represented Home Depot.
“Home Depot has been a valued tenant at 625 University Ave over the years. Their space offers ideal ceiling heights, extensive paved outside storage, ample loading, 4 CSX rail spurs, and a central location with easy access –a very unique and rare opportunity,” said Minnerly.
Located 15 miles south of Boston at the juncture of Interstate 95 and Route 128, 625 University Ave is set in a popular commercial area adjacent to a wealth of amenities located within University Station. The property offers robust infrastructure, heavy power and CSX rail service.
The property also features an additional 19,592 square feet, which is available for lease in an adjacent building on the property at 615 University Avenue. That building, situated on 2.5 acres, is ideal for warehousing/distribution or light manufacturing with 13 tailboard loading docks and two drive-through bays and one ramped-up, drive-in door.
625 and 615 University Avenue are owned by a joint venture formed by Hackman Capital Partners, Calare Properties and KBS Real Estate Investment Trust. The property was initially purchased in 2007 as part of an 11.36-million-square-foot portfolio. PMRG manages the property.
