BOSTON, MA – HFF announced it has closed the $152 million sale of 116 Huntington Avenue, a trophy, 274,218-square-foot office located in Boston’s Back Bay submarket.

Originally constructed in 1991 and continually renovated and upgraded throughout time, 116 Huntington is a boutique office building that draws on the various demand sectors in Boston’s highest renting submarket. 

 In addition to the on-site amenities, the building is within walking distance to the Shops at the Prudential, Copley Place and the MBTA’s Back Bay Station, which provides access to subway, bus, commuter rail and Amtrak services.  

Rising to a height of 15 stories, the building offers unmatched views of the Back Bay, Seaport, South End and the Charles River.

Lori Schneider

 ST. CLOUD, FL  – Marcus & Millichap (NYSE: MMI), a leading commercial real estate investment services firm with offices throughout the United States and Canada, announced the sale of CVS, a 10,908-square foot net-leased property located in St. Cloud, Fla, according to Ryan Nee, regional manager of the firm’s Fort Lauderdale office.

Lori Schneider, a senior vice president investments, in Marcus & Millichap’s Fort Lauderdale office, had the exclusive listing to market the property on behalf of the seller, a limited liability company from Mount Pleasant, SC.

Built in 1999, the 10,908 square foot CVS is located on a large 2.3 acre parcel and has a double drive-thru.
