PLANS, DESCRIPTION: A Nahant, Mass.-based investment group purchased a 20,602-square-foot vacant retail building for $1.25 million.

The price equated to $61 per square foot.

Built in 1995, the property is located at the intersection of U.S. 41 and Jamaica Boulevard. The building, which was last renovated in 2009, also features a two-bay truck well for semi-truck deliveries and 6,000 square feet of warehouse space.

Dan Miller of The Miller Alliance of Re/Max Realty Group represented the seller and Nick Paulus of Invest Realty LLC represented the buyer.

“It's a great building in a phenomenal location on a lighted intersection,” Paulus says. “It should be a nice investment. This was a long process to get under contract. When the tenant moved was when the price got to where we needed it to be.”
