seller and the buyer, both private investors, in the transaction.
“Station 401 @ Poplar is situated in a world-class location in close proximity
to major employers and transportation corridors,” says Johnston. “The asset was
previously listed unsuccessfully by other local brokers. Keeping our finger on
the pulse of the market, we were able to bring in a buyer and ultimately
negotiate an attractive price that made sense for both our clients.”
