through building upgrades
MILFORD, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–A Joint Venture of New Mill Capital Holdings of New York (www.newmillcapital.com),
Odyssey Real Estate Capital of Las Vegas (www.odysseyrecap.com),
and Joseph Finn Co. of Boston (www.josephfinn.com)
has acquired the former Ardagh Group glass plant in Milford, MA. The
acquisition includes the real estate as well as select equipment.
“We are excited to be the new owners of the former glass plant and look
forward to working with the business community as well as local and
state officials to identify new users for the site,” said Gregory
Schain, Principal of New Mill Capital Holdings. “We plan to make a
significant investment in the real estate in order to bring a modern and
functional rail-served building to the thriving Boston industrial
market.”
The new owners plan to immediately sell the remaining machinery and
equipment after which it will undertake a significant demolition and
renovation program to bring the 32-acre property up to modern
warehousing and distribution standards.
“Our joint venture specializes in re-positioning real estate assets
through aggressive and comprehensive construction projects,” said Tom
Murray, a Principal at New Mill Capital Holdings. “The Ardagh plant
represents a compelling opportunity to bring life back to an asset with
great potential given the building’s size and infrastructure as well as
its location within the low-vacancy I-495 market.”
“We look forward to get going on this project,” added Graham Nelson,
Managing Director of Odyssey Real Estate Capital. “Upon completion,
we’ll be delivering over 330,000 square feet of warehouse and
distribution space in a property that lays out well for either a single
user or to multiple tenants. Given added amenities including direct rail
service, heavy power and ample trailer parking, the building will be
attractive to a wide array of industrial users that are looking for
space in New England.”
The transaction closed on December 12. Newmark Knight Frank will
represent the new ownership group in marketing the property.
