PLANS, DESCRIPTION: Investors Bernardino and Maria Simones of Union, N.J., purchased 1.3 acres of land housing a 15,143-square-foot CVS/pharmacy building for $2.63 million.

CoStar Group reports CVS Caremark has a 21-year ground lease on the property that started in 2009, when the drug store was built. Lori Schneider of Marcus & Millichap represented the buyers.

“The reason that it was of market appeal was the management-free nature of the investment and the good location with a strong tenant,” Schneider wrote explaining the buyer's attraction to the property.
