 BOSTON, MA –Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announced it has closed the sale of and arranged acquisition financing for 1025 and 1075 Main Street, two Class A office properties totaling 303,460 square feet in Waltham, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston.

HFF exclusively represented the seller, an affiliate of KBS Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc., in the transaction and procured the buyer, an affiliate of The Davis Companies.  Additionally, HFF worked on behalf of the new owner to secure the seven-year acquisition loan through Brookline Savings Bank and First Niagara Bank.   Gramercy Property Trust, as asset manager, advised KBS on the transaction.

 1025 and 1075 Main Street are situated along Route 20 in Waltham, less than a mile from Route 128/Interstate 95 and less than 15 minutes from downtown Boston.  The property has mass transit access via two MBTA commuter rail stops as well as several MBTA bus lines nearby.  Originally built by BayBank in 1980 as the bank’s major operations center, the property has served similar functions for BankBoston, Fleet and Bank of America, who was the anchor tenant at the property.

 Additional tenants include Citizens Disability and The Cambridge Institute of International Education.  1025 and 1075 Main Street offer tenants a cafeteria, fitness center and parking in a four-level parking garage below 1075 Main.
