Colliers facilitates $52.8 million sale of Brookwood Financial Partner’s Cherry Hill Drive industrial portfolio

BOSTON– Colliers International’s Investment Sales team, made up of executive vice presidents Scott Dragos and Doug Jacoby, vice president Tony Hayes, assistant vice president Tim Mulhall, and associate Dan Hines, announced the recent $52.8 million sale of Brookwood’s Beverly/Danvers seven-building flex/industrial portfolio in Cherry Hill Park.

Comprising over a half-million square feet between 24-42, 33, 35, 37, 54, 71 and 72 Cherry Hill Drive, the park attracted a large buyer pool due to its institutional quality, reputable tenant make-up with the likes of Osram Sylvania, Medtronic, etc., and overall critical mass in what is recognized as a desirable flex/industrial market. After a competitive process among several very qualified groups, Brookwood and Colliers selected R.J. Kelly Co., Inc. as the buyer, and the closing took place on July 25, 2017.

“In comparison to other suburban markets and product types, we saw an impressive amount of interest in this portfolio,” noted Jacoby. “Beyond market conditions alone, Brookwood deserves recognition for its success in tenanting the project, which played a major role in the outcome of the sale.”

Colliers International’s north suburban leasing team of Greg Klemmer, Tim Brodigan and Dan Driscoll have worked on leasing the portfolio for the last 18 months in preparation for a sale.

BPDA Announces Recipients of Harvard-Allston Public Realm Flexible Fund

BOSTON– Boston Planning & Development Agency, known as BPDA, has announced the recipients of the Harvard-Allston Public Realm Flexible Fund to support the community of Allston.

Harvard, in collaboration with the BPDA and the City of Boston, is awarding grants from a $5.35 million pool of funding to projects that create vibrant public spaces and encourage civic and cultural activity in the neighborhood.

The fund, known as the Harvard-Allston Public Realm Flexible Fund, is intended to support projects for which public sources of financing may be unavailable or inadequate. The funding is to be disbursed in full over the term of Harvard University’s Institutional Master Plan, ending November 21, 2023.

On July 14, 2016, the BPDA Board voted to approve $406,173 in funding for seven Harvard-Allston Public Realm Flexible Fund projects.

Allston Village Main Streets will receive $26,425 for permanent lighting installations in and around Allston Village.

Artists for Humanity will receive $37,623 for the design, fabrication, and installation of 8-10 artistic bike racks along key bicycle routes between Allston Village and Barry’s Corner.

Brain Arts Organization will receive up to $3,400 to produce two concerts at the Herter Park Publick Theater in September.

Charles River Watershed Association will receive $80,000 as a match for the implementation of green infrastructure on Coolidge Road.

Gardner Pilot Academy will receive up to $66,660 for the renovation and expansion of the school garden.

Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture will receive $3,510 for the installation of Matthew Hoffman’s temporary artwork, “May This Never End” on the chain link fence on the south side of Lincoln Street for three years.

Ringer Park Crime Watch will receive $100,000 for the installation of lighting and entrance markers at Ringer Park.

In order to be considered, projects had to be located in the Allston-Brighton neighborhood with particular emphasis on the North Allston/North Brighton area. In addition, they had to be on public property or on property with public access.
