September 25, 2015
Leading real estate investment firm adds 16 Leona Drive, 19 Leona Drive, and 139 Campanelli Drive to growing portfolio
Calare Properties, a private, Massachusetts-based investment firm with a focus on industrial real estate, announced today that it has acquired three
industrial properties located within the Campanelli Business Park in Middleborough, MA, for $25,375,000. Totaling
273,000 square-feet (sf), the three-building portfolio was acquired from Campanelli and includes 16 Leona Drive, 19 Leona Drive, and 139 Campanelli Drive.
“The Campanelli Business Park assets presented a unique opportunity for Calare to add well-positioned, core properties to our growing and diversified portfolio,”
commented Bryan Blake, President of Calare. “With additional regional operators and distributors in the Park and continued development slated
by Campanelli, we are confident that our best-in-class management team will maintain a high level of occupancy and secure strong return for our investors in the
future.”
“Each of the three buildings clearly fit into Calare’s strategy of acquiring well-located, functional industrial assets,” commented Andrew Iglowski,
Director of Acquisitions at Calare. “With a combination of superior physical characteristics, strong tenant credit, and long-term leases, we are confident that
16 Leona Drive, 19 Leona Drive, and 139 Campanelli Drive will perform well throughout market cycles.”
16 Leona Drive is a state-of-the-art, 21’ clear, 80,000 sf industrial/flex building that is currently 100% leased to IDEX Health & Science, an
international market leader in manufacturing liquid subassemblies and precision components for medical and life science needs. 19 Leona Drive
is a Class A, 32’ clear, warehouse distribution building, which totals 108,000 sf and is 100% leased to Sager Electronics, a subsidiary of TTI, Inc., a Berkshire
Hathaway Inc., company. Notably, the property was a build-to-suit by Campanelli for Sager Electronics and serves as its corporate office and distribution/service
center. 139 Campanelli Drive is a Class A, 26’ clear, warehouse distribution building totaling 85,000 sf that is 100% leased to Stop & Shop
Supermarket.
All three of these properties benefit from a strategic location within Campanelli Business Park, a 220-acre campus, which provides convenient access to Boston and
Providence via Routes 44 and 495. Additionally, Campanelli Business Park is surrounded by a strong work pool and diverse selection of amenities including
restaurants, retail options, day care services, hotels, banks, and shopping opportunities.
“Campanelli Business Park continues to be a highly sought-after location for tenants and investors alike, due to its strategic location and position as a premier
warehouse and distribution hub,” said Rob DeMarco, Partner at Campanelli. “A three-building transaction such as this, on the heels of our recent 85,000 sf lease
to Stop & Shop, is a testament to our ability to develop and market quality assets in highly-competitive regions. Calare is a well-respected owner and operator of
properties throughout New England, and we are pleased to welcome them to the Park.”
